Jewelry Organization

A little while ago I started organizing my jewelry and that of my sister's. We both have lots and lots of jewelry that needed to be organized desperately. I figured I would share our organization solutions with all of you so you may organize your own jewelry in the same or similar way! :) 

PROBLEM: My sister, Kim has a extensive selection of earrings and has a bit of a earring obsession ;) thus all the more reason she needed an organization system that allowed her earrings to be displayed in an organized manner, as previously they would be piled on top of the others in little boxes and bins and resulted in a time consuming task of trying to find a matching pair. 

SOLUTION: We purchased a cork board frame at Walmart, it allowed us to poke in pins from which then pairs of earrings can be hung. As shown in the photo above you can organize your earrings in a visually appealing manner. :)

PROBLEM: Next up is my mixed collection of jewelry including bracelets, earrings, rings and necklaces. I had a lot of bracelets, way too much to organize, so I actually stored 40% of the bracelets I never wore in a box. I also have a lot of stud earrings which are hard to organize and easily lost. 

SOLUTION: I had always had this jewelry display box so I put it to use. I sorted through my current jewelry and got rid of or stored the jewelry I never wear but wanted to keep. Next up I cut up some black card stock that would fit the square trays in my jewelry box, I cut the card stock in a way that allowed it to tilt up a bit so it can stand a little, like a picture frame would (Like a picture frame, I attached a flap to the back so this would remain tilted). I poked some push pins into the box beside the mirror and hung some of my earrings there as most hang on my sisters display. All my jewelry pieces except my necklaces now have a spot! :)

PROBLEM: So of course I ran into a necklace dilemma as I wanted my necklaces to be hung, but didn't have the space in the jewelry box to hang them nor did I have enough wall space for a cork board frame.

SOLUTION: So instead I bought some push pins and stuck these straight into the wall. Yes i know, this is a crazy idea if you love your walls...which I do, but I felt confident that I could pin them in the correct spot the first time around and so I did. ;) I am pleased with the final look and it has become a piece of organizational-art in my eyes! (Don't know if organizational-art is a thing, otherwise it is now, aha!)  

PROBLEM: So last of all I wanted my sister to display the rings she owns, and wanted to make it look visually appealing, another organizational-art situation I guess... ;) She had some empty space on her shelving to allow for this.

SOLUTION: I had purchased mirrors from the Dollar Store a while back and purchased clear ring holders from Amazon. Combined with some decorations in her room they make for a nice display, i especially love the reflections of both the rings and sunglasses within the mirrors!  

I hope you enjoyed reading about the way I organized our jewelry and hope you feel inspired to organize your own! Below are some links of the items I purchased mentioned throughout the blog post.
