Summer is finally coming to an end and some of us may need to get organized for fall, myself included. For me, one of the hardest things to store is jewelry. A girl can never have too much, although space can be limited. This makes it tricky. Necklaces get tangled, lost, and forgotten about. Same goes with bracelets, rings, earrings, and pretty much any other accessory. So I began researching how other bloggers creatively organize their jewels and voila! Storing jewelry has turned into a work of art. Here's how.
1. Find an open space in your room, be it a desk, dresser, side table, anything. This is the canvas of your masterpiece. Well, and your storage space.
2. Now this is the fun part. Scavange around the house for vintage bowls. If your house is anything like mine, these bowls will be found in your storage room in the basement. Don't worry, they will seem ugly standing alone. Mine were candy dishes from the 1980's and my great-grandmother's paper clip holders. Just wait until you put your jewelry in them.
3. Begin piling bangles in a tall vase. Normal bracelets can go in a bowl. A dish can be used to place miscellaneous earrings on. It is so much easier than having to hang them on an earring holder.
4. I found a tiny bowl to place lipsticks in. This is super convenient when you are rushing out the door. All colors are easily displayed.
5. Find a vintage tray to place perfume bottles on. The look of a beautiful perfume bottle is so sophisticated. And who says rings have to be hidden? Scatter miscellaneous rings on the tray. So chic!
6. Hang necklaces from decorative hooks. I hung some of my favorites from my mirror. They take the place of paintings on a wall.
And there you have it, a convenient, inexpensive, and pretty way of organizing your jewelry. Play around with it and make it your own. The more original it is, the more fun you'll have with it. Eclectic is cool.
Until next time,
Natalie
