Jewelry organizing sometimes is very tricky, because it is so easy to tangle the necklaces together and lose one of the earrings. We try making it easy by keeping them all together on jewelry boxes or drawers, but that just makes us forget about them(out of sight, out of mind!) and makes us lose valuable time trying to find that exact piece we want.

So, as a solution for those recurring disappearing earrings and to save you some time, here are some very interesting and effective DIY ideas that you can try today.

Make an Earring Rack out of Plywood

In this interesting DIY you can learn how to make this amazing stud earrings rack from plywood. Choose the size depending on how many pairs you have and make it fit your current decor: you can just brush on a coat of wood sealer, or make it more colorful by painting it with a fun color or wrapping it with a fabric or paper with a cool design. Hang the piece on the wall using a chain or just leave it leaning against it on top of a dressing table. No more trouble looking for a complete pair of earrings!

This idea is just as awesome as it is different; it’s not only a jewelry holder, but also an art piece. You just need a pair of antlers (you can easily get from eBay), acrylic paint, glue, and glitter. Paint all the antlers tips with your chosen color, and once it’s dry apply glue to the very ends and dust glitter over them. The result is breathtaking!

Use a Flatware Tray as a Display

This is a cool, alternative way to organize your jewelry. Choose a nice flatware tray, use a self-adhesive foil or velvet fabric to bind to it and voilá: you have a simple and yet beautiful jewelry organizer. You can place it on top of a dressing table or inside a drawer. And to give it a little kick you can spray paint the tray with a fabulous color like turquoise or orange, before adding the fabric.

Use Frames

Frames are not just for pictures, they are very versatile and can be used in many different ways: one of them is for jewelry displaying. You can use chicken wire or lace fabric on the frame so you can put your earrings or even screw hooks directly on the top part of a wood frame to hang your necklaces. Another extraordinary way to hang your pieces is to use a decorative radiator grate on a frame like Jen at I Heart Organizing did. Such a different and creative idea!

Another fantastic idea to use frames as jewelry organizers is using wine corks as background to pin over or use cork board wrapped with a beautiful fabric or wrapping paper. Just use pins to fix your necklaces or bracelets and hang it on a wall. You’ll never lose any more time looking for your favorite pieces.
