Easy-Peasy DIY Jewellery Storage



I had been frustrated with my jewellery "situation" for awhile.  I couldn't find a single jewellery box that suited my needs, but didn't even have a place to keep one anyway.  When I came across this picture I knew I had found the solution to the ball of necklaces I kept in a box my dishes came in!  This is so easy you don't even need instructions!

I happened to have the eye hooks and wooden hangers on hand so I just measured out the intervals I wanted the hooks and screwed them in.  I did learn that the small dowel on the bottom of my hanger was too small to hold the hooks without the wood splitting.  Also, I had to make sure I used larger eye hooks for my second hanger to accommodate larger clasps.

I organized my earrings and chain bracelets into this vintage tart pan.  I think it looks cute!

Now I need to figure out what to do with my larger bracelets and bangles, especially the ones without clasps.  Right now I have them around the hook on the top of the hanger.  Any other suggestions?
