Frame Worthy

Think your gems are picture perfect? Remodel a frame to show off your works of art. Board up a frame back, add a few eyehooks and attach a homemade drawer (this one's made from scrap molding) to show off your adornments.

Window Treatment

Cache your stash and add architectural interest to your dressing room with a reclaimed wood shutter. Prop it against a bare wall as a one-of-a-kind ledge for colorful earrings.

Branching Out

Money may not grow on trees, but jewelry certainly can make branches beautiful. With an interesting vessel and a few branches, you can display your necklaces and keep them tangle-free.

2-D Tree

Short on counter or dresser-top space? Create a tree design on your wall using washi tape, then use thumbtacks to hang your favorite necklaces from the ends of the "branches." This temporary display is perfect for dorm rooms and apartments.

Tame the Tangles

The backside of a closet door is the ideal spot to hang long necklaces that are prone to tangling. A clear acrylic necklace rack fits perfectly within the raised panel of this door, but if you're on a budget, a few small hooks or nails will get the job done.

Custom Corkboard

Don’t overlook even the smallest nooks and crannies in your home as potential storage spaces. Try cutting a sheet of cork to fit a small sliver of space – say, between a bathroom and closet door – and using small nails to hang jewelry.

Heavy Metal

Big, clunky necklaces and rings need hooks that can stand up to your jewelry's heft. Convert a coat rack or hanging hooks into a clever catchall for your favorite ornamentation.

Eggs-celent Organizer

With their petite compartments, egg cartons are useful for sorting rings, stud earrings, pins and other small, easy-to-misplace items. You can upcycle a standard foam egg carton, of course, but a porcelain or ceramic version looks super pretty displayed on a dresser.

Farm-to-Jewelry Box

Old lawn tools find new life when draped with colorful necklaces. Tie a string across the top for the perfect earring display.

Tray Transformation

Can you believe this wall-mounted jewelry organizer started as a basic wooden tray? A decorative metal sheet and small cup hooks transform it into a spot for showing off earrings and necklaces.

Rustic Appeal

Give a plank of reclaimed pallet wood new purpose with a few silver nails and a handful of distinctive drawer pulls. The wood's natural weathering provides a rustic backdrop for sparkly bracelets and necklaces.
