Storing and Displaying Jewelry

I really like jewelry and I love having it stored so I can see it all at once.  Makes it much easier to make sure I know what I have to wear. Here's how I currently store/display mine.

All together.  Let's take a closer look.

Earring display board I made.  Tutorial here.

My long necklaces are simply on colored tacks on my corkboard.  The shorter ones are in my jewelry box.

Teacups are really cute to me, so I like to use themfor my earrings and smaller hair clips.

It would be so annoying to dig through every time I wanted a pair of earrings.  So instead I put them on buttons. 

So simple, then I put them back on right when I take them off.  Simplifies my life. 

This adorable box came with my Erin Condren planner in it (I'm obsessed, I'll talk about it later)

It used to house my bracelets.  Not so cute or easy to look through. 

So I hung it on the candle stand I found while dumpster diving. 

This is how it looks put together.

And my hair stuff...I have a lot of it, and I still can't stop making it.

All of these hair clips were made by me.  I love them. 

 

I have a jewelry box for the shorter necklaces, my rings, and my pearls. 

How do you store your jewelry? Do you display it or is it hidden away?

Earring Display Tutorial

Inspired by some Pinterest jewelry displays, I've been wanting to make one myself.  When I was packing for school I found an old cork board that I really didn't use anymore: I knew it was perfect.  

Paint it up.

I really liked the colors, but they were slightly brighter than I wanted, so I mixed a bit of silver in and went over with a second coat.  Not a huge difference, but I'm glad I did it.

Staple some picture-hanging wire around the back...I didn't measure it really, just eyeballed how far apart I thought looked good.  

Wrap the excess wire around the staples. (You may need to use pliers or tweezers) 

The top two are closer together for the smaller earrings, but the longer ones can always hang off the bottom or even over other wires.

  
Hang your earrings (: Seriously simple.

Someday when this is above a shelf I'll include the teacups for my studs and it will be perfect. 

But for now, I'm using this bowl. And those things blank CD/DVDs come in for the bracelets and rings. 

And little removable hooks for necklaces.

Hanging on my wall.
