Jewelry is the thing that puts the whole finish on an outfit. Simple, elegant, or sleek and brassy. Many an individual has built quite the collection through their years but often find that the result is quite dismal. Necklaces, watches, earrings - all of which can't be found as there is no way to organize it. Here are some clever strategies to organize your jewelry in an appealing but cheap way.
Watches and Bracelets
This little necessity can add as much with an outfit as it is functional, but what to do to organize them! I once had a friend that used to keep her watches on a paper towel dispenser. She attached it directly to the wall and wouldn't you know that it not merely organized them but made them easily accessible as well. She also had another one that stored her rings. What an excellent space saver for your dresser!
Necklaces
Necklaces are so great until they get tangled and broken! A good way to organize them would be to try to find a men's tie rack. A lot of these fit compactly into your closet or on the wall by your mirror. These permit you to hang them without getting them tangled while being able to twirl your way to the perfect necklace choice. Another inexpensive idea I know of is to try using a hanger with clothes pins in between to stop tangling of your necklaces. Great hint for traveling with necklaces that you don't want to get tangled - put the chains in a drinking straw for your trip. This keeps all chains tangle free!
Earrings
Earrings are probably the greatest headache for getting organized. Is it simply me or does one of a match always appear to be missing? I have seen a number of very cute and inexpensive ideas for getting these darn things under control! Using an embroidery circle with some embroidery material (color of your choice) tightly within the circle. This is the perfect surface to poke through your earrings for display. Even hoops round the sides could be organized using this solution. Other things I have observed include egg carton with top removed or ice cube trays. While those are cheap as well, they are not quite to appealing to the eye as the first one. As for those earrings which may have lost their mate, you should store them because they are great as pins or accessories for scarves!
