Organize Your Jewelry: DIY style

My little homemade jewelry holders got me thinking last week about all the little ways you can organize your jewelry.

These little holders were so easy to make. Check out your local hardware store for wood trim. Then paint as desired. Screw a few cup hooks in, you will most likely need to drimmel the back of the screw off as my trim wasn't thick enough, easy fix though. Then I attached some of those 3M poster strips to the back and ta da!

There's so many other creative ways that would be easy for any novice DIYer to recreate.

How awesome is this?! And so easy I'm peeved I hadn't thought of it already! It's hard to tell but I think there are little hooks or nails all along the branches. I bet most of you have a frame laying around just begging for this!

Here is a similar idea to the one above. Here I like how it seems like they have string across the top frame to hold earrings. I never know how to organize all my earrings!

Or you can use one of those fantastic printer drawers you see at flea markets. Screw in a bunch of hooks and you have an amazing display!

How do you have your jewelry organized?

Currently Obsessed With; Getting Organized!

First off, let me just welcome to all my new followers this week! If you have come to me vie Bijou and Boheme and would like more information on my painting, just click the picture in the side bar for a how to. If you'd rather skip the DIY and would like to order one just send me a note at myflightsofwhimsy(at)gmail(dot)com. I can make it in any size and color you would like!

Now onto the decor porn! If you're like me (and since you're reading this blog you probably are!) you are thinking about ways to streamline your life, de-clutter and get organized for 2011. For me this involves three main areas that always seem to suck the minutes out of my life; my closet, my workspace, and my bookshelf.

Does this ring true for you? How many of us spend precious minutes digging through our closets to find those ballet flats? Rifling through our bins looking for our whole puncher or those special scissors with the fine tip? Scanning rows of books looking for that one to loan to a friend? I know I do! Plus throwing out the old and organizing the rest makes me feel as though I've done the same to my mind. And that's always a good thing!

 

 

Two words. I. Die.

 

Are you doing anything to get organized for the new year? What's your plan?
