DIY jewelry holder ~ my take

I wrote a few weeks ago about my need for a jewelry solution in my bedroom. I needed it up out of the reach of my niece and nephew and DIY, cheap and unique. I looked online for inspiration and found some cute ideas, but none of them fit quite right for my space and needs. I was at Ikea a little while ago and found a necklace solution. I bought a simple white over the door coat hook, hung it on my closet door and hung all of my necklaces on it. They are out of reach of the kids and displayed so I can actually see all of them!

Then I continued to look for a way to display earrings, rings and bracelets. I like the look of the burlap picture frames, but you can't really hang those on the wall and still easily access all of your earrings. Then I saw a picture of an earring holder using a length of small chain and 2 pins and thought that was cute. I wanted to use materials that I already had if that was possible.

Then inspiration struck! I cut 2 strips of burlap that I already had along with one strip of lace that I had and only bought the silver thumb tacks. They were $1.99 at Michaels. I love the mixture of lace, burlap, and metal! Here are some pictures of the process:

I chose "Delight" because it comes from my favorite Bible verse at the moment. Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." That is something I'm clinging to at the moment!


And finally the bracelet and ring dilemma. Without a better solution at the moment I took a silver bowl that I bought a while back from Salvation Army and put it on my small table below the earrings and spread out my rings and bracelets and other miscellaneous things in it. For now it works and I am loving the way it all came together!

More jewelry organization ideas

I am still on the hunt for a great inspiration of what to do to house and display all of my jewelry! Like I said last time, I have some big requirements to fulfill for this project. Check out my last blog to refresh your mind about what those requirements are. I have been scouring the internet for that one great, jaw-dropping, I-can't-believe-I-didn't-come-up-with-this-sooner idea! In my research I came across some more good ideas that could develop into great ideas, or be great ideas for someone else!

So here are some of those inspirations for your delight and  use:

A friend made one of these and it is fabulous!

This is a silverware drawer organizer re-purposed into a jewelry organizer. Such a good idea!

DIY jewelry holder ideas

Here is my latest dilemma: I need to figure out a unique way to organize my jewelry. I have a few stipulations though: 1. I want it to have some element of DIY {for obvious reasons} 2. it needs to fit in a small area that is mostly hidden when the bedroom door is open 3. it has to be high enough that my niece and nephew can't get into it and play with it, but low enough to accommodate my short stature! These are some peculiar stipulations, I know, but I do what I can with what I have!

I found some interesting ideas online and I hope to incorporate some of those ideas with some of my own ideas and therefore create wonderfulness!! {Don't judge for my word choices!!}

Here are the pictures that I found online and I will keep you posted on what I come up with!
