7 Lovely DIY Ways to Organize Your Jewelry

Posted on June 11, 2020 by Mary Hood | 0 Comments

Collecting jewelry is fun. Keeping it organized and tangle-free may be another matter, however. Fortunately, there are several DIY ways to organize—and beautifully display—your jewelry. Since these organizers are “open air,” if you will, they’re not appropriate for your finest and most valuable jewelry, which should be securely stored in appropriate containers. Rather, these DIY jewelry organizers are perfect for the casual pieces you wear often.

1. Driftwood + Old Cabinet Knobs = Gorgeous Necklace Rack

This creative piece is part functional storage part upcycled art! Learn how to make it at Visibly Moved.

2. Stamped Squares of Corkboard

Using large decorative stamps or stencils to create patterns on corkboard tiles makes a lovely jewelry display—especially if you add pretty push pins into the mix. Learn more at Katelyn Brooke.

3. Jewelry Board with Repurposed Drawer Pulls

Liz Marie is the clever gal behind this creation. Cabinet knobs make perfect necklace hangers while upside down drawer pulls offer the perfect nest for smaller pieces.

4. Photo Frame Jewelry Display

Turn your jewelry into art with this clever photo frame jewelry display. See more on Home Decorating and Staging.

5. Simple Twig and Twine Jewelry Display

Perfect for a rustic touch, this understated way to show off your necklaces is quite simple—even for craft newbies! See how at Julie Ann Art .

Pretty Ways to Display Your Jewelry

Posted on April 12, 2018 by Mary Hood | 0 Comments

The best part of owning jewelry, of course, is wearing it! But we can’t wear all of our jewelry all of the time. Artistically organizing and displaying our jewelry is a great way to enjoy the jewelry we’re not wearing at the moment, add a splash of beauty to our living space—and show off our impeccable tastes in the process.

We recommend displaying your more casual jewelry or jewelry that could easily be replaced. For truly valuable pieces, it’s better to store them somewhere safer where they will be protected from gathering dust and getting lost in the shuffle of things. 

Display your favorite rings in a pretty dish.

Tip: In some cases, less is more. Too much jewelry in one dish defeats the purpose of displaying your jewelry.  

 

Tip: Scour thrift stores and antique markets for vintage busts and designer forms. These pieces can "wear" and show off your jewelry when you're not!

Go for a modern, minimalist approach with this DIY Mountain Necklace Display featured on The Merrythought.

Tip: Unfinished wood can make a beautiful, refreshing statement. 

Try this Delicate Necklace Solution from Cupcakes and Cashmere.

Tip: If you're going to pin your jewelry to a wall or board, opt for delicate pins in gold, silver, or white.

 What are your favorite ways to organize and display your jewelry?
