5 Simple Ways To Organize Your Jewelry
1. Location
First, decide on a location for your bling. Whether you opt for a desk, dresser drawer or closet, make sure that it’s someplace where your jewelry can be easily accessed and displayed – an eye level location works well. Also, try to avoid keeping jewelry where it’s likely to get lost. Don’t, for example, keep jewelry near air vents or above patterned carpeting where pieces could easily disappear.
2. Sort
There are many ways to organize and sort your jewelry to match your lifestyle. If you change your jewelry regularly to suit different events, you may want to consider organizing based on occasion or frequency of use. In that case, make the items you wear daily most easily accessible and invest in a travel case or pouch for on-the-go accessory changes.
You could also sort by color or material, making it easy for you to color-coordinate with outfits. Another option is that of organizing by trend – if you’ve got a lot of costume jewelry then you’ll probably need to separate your feather-inspired pieces from your bib necklaces and your peter pan collars.
No matter which organizational system you settle on, it’s always a good idea to separate bracelets from earrings and so on. That way, you’ll minimize the chances that things will become tangled, damaged or mixed up.
3. Necklaces
Necklaces can be somewhat tricky to tackle, as they simply have a knack for getting tangled up. You can avoid this by storing them individually in little placeholders or by hanging them up. This is where your creativity comes into play…there are many methods of displaying necklaces and you can very easily turn your former tangle of chains into an eye-catching piece of wall art, for example.
By using old picture frames tie racks, you can create both a unique statement piece for your room and an efficient way to organize your necklaces. In need of inspiration? Try searching sites like Pinterest for “necklace organizer” and you’ll find some great DIY ideas!
4. Bracelets
Bracelet storage is simple enough, especially if you own bangles because they are particularly easy to display. Paper towel holders, skinny bottles, or classic “T-bar” style stands can provide a quick fix for cluttered bracelet storage. For clasp bracelets, drawer-style jewelry boxes offer great storage and more protection.
5. Earrings
Earrings are easily misplaced, but with a little ingenuity, you’ll find that even earrings can be made manageable. One stylish choice for earring organization is the earring tree. There are so many pretty and functional versions of this popular storage option available in stores and online. Earring organization also gives DIY fanatics the opportunity to get creative – with an embroidery hoop and some mesh fabric, you can make a custom earring holder to store all those pesky little studs.
