If your jewelry collection has gotten out of hand, you may want to organize it so you can see what you have and wear the right pieces with your clothing. Here are some easy and inexpensive ideas to tame your tangled trinkets. Does this Spark an idea?
Earrings
Hang a cork board on the wall of your closet and push the earrings into it. Keep the earring backs in a small box on the closet shelf. You can also make an earring holder out of a picture frame and wire mesh such as for a screen door.
Rings
Make a ring box similar to those padded sections of jewelry boxes that they come in. All you need is a cigar or other wood box and some soft fabric -- velvet, felt or even an old sweater will do.
Cut the fabric to fit the width of the box, then fold it accordian-style to fit the length of the box. Place your rings between the folds.
Necklaces and Bracelets
Many commercial necklace organizers are available, but if you want to save some money, all you need is a belt, tie, cup or key rack. You can nail the rack inside your closet door or wall and hang your necklaces from the hooks to keep them untangled.
Alternately, buy one of the desktop-sized trees hobby stores sell for hanging miniature seasonal ornaments. Instead of hanging ornaments on them, hang your collection of necklaces and bracelets.
