SUPER Affordable DIY Jewelry Storage 

I really like the fact that you show what DOESN'T work as well as what does. It not only helps us not go down the same dead ends, you also don't come across as one of those Perfect Pinterest People who make the rest of us feel inadequate. Thanks!

Awesome ideas! Just an added thought about the first one you did- if you are concerned about the flimsiness of the mesh with the frame around it- just add foam to both sides! It will stop it from being flimsy and give you a bit of extra space if you have more than one sheet on top of each other (if that makes sense!) Thanks for sharing! Love your ideas! Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve 😉

Hi Norrine. I made a huge jewelry organizer 7 years ago. Initially I had 4 jewelry boxes but had to go through all four boxes quite often looking for particular earrings. It added time to my morning routine getting ready for work. So now my organizer is hung up on my bedroom wall because if I don't see my jewelry I don't wear it. Most of my very large collection of earrings are dangle earrings so I designed my organizer to work best with these types of earrings. I used a 4 foot x 6 foot decorative, thick, wood frame (which was free) and stapled burlap to the back of it with a stapler gun. I bought the inexpensive burlap at Wal-Mart and it was 60" wide so I had to cut it down just a little. I did fold over the burlap where it was stapled so it wasn't too thin in that section. Now the burlap did have to be stretched out while stapling so it would look good and provide a stiffer backing so it was a two person job. I stiffened the burlap with mod podge after stapling it to the frame. I like the sealed burlap because it holds onto the earrings securely and they don't fall out when I'm adding and removing earrings. The organizer is still hung up and in use 7 years later. For my lever back earrings I just added safety pins to the burlap and that allowed me to easily add and remove those types of earrings. I don't use post back earrings because they irritate my ears but if I did I would have attached another strip of burlap with a safety pin and that would have held many post back/stud earrings. My jewelry is organized by color so it's really easy to find what I'm looking for. Because my organizer is hanging on the wall its also really easy to return the jewelry to it's original spot.

Love your idea for earring holder. I made mine a little different. I used a Dollar tree wire waste basket, and a tall candle holder, glued. Waste basket on top of wooden candle holder, and hung my earrings on holes in waste basket.

Love the binder idea. I used my favorite sweater that was a little worn out but I didn't want to part with it so I started using it for earing/jewelry storage. I hung it from a hanger in my closet. It's handy because you can see all your jewelry at once. I hang it at the end of the rod so it's always easy to locate. Thanks so much for your channel. I love it!

I had a friend lose ALL her jewelry in a break-in. She said her whole house was ransacked and the only room untouched was the kitchen! Now she keeps valuables in the kitchen! I'll have to tell her about this idea. Anyone would assume recipes were in them if they saw binders in a kitchen.

I have made these with screen and a picture frame from the dollar store. Thanks for the refresher.

My hubby is a leathercrafter. He has punches that just punch a single hole. I use a tiny one to punch holes in my leather earrings for the wires & such. They come in various sizes. They would probably work for punching holes in your foam. They’re like a hollow pipe, sharper on one end. You just position it & give a couple taps with a wooden mallet. 😊

A great idea! Now, how about grabbing a padded mailing envelope while at the $Tree to slip your page of jewelry in for travel? Or run buy Joanns for a short piece of quilted fabric to make a really cute travel envelope? Yeah, and then keep an empty page so you can choose your jewelry for your trip without having to rearrange what's in the binder. Sometimes I even amaze myself!

I love this idea! Ill be watching you again!!❤

You could use thick card stock with half circles put over foam board instead of cutting them out of foam board.

This is a great idea for folks with alot of jewelry!

Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

On the foam core version, you could loop a piece of ribbon through 2 holes to hang the closed earrings.

Enjoyed this craft. I bought a canvas (for painting). It has its own frame already. I covered it by glueing a single layer of a paper napkin over the canvas. I chose a pale lightly patterned napkin so the earrings didn’t disappear in the pattern. Initially, I was going to use a matching embroidery thread and do lines of running stitches to hook the earrings over but I decided just to use a needle and poke holes in the canvas. Because of the frame, you lose some surface area along the sides but you could easily attach hooks etc. into the frame for rings, bracelets and so on. Obviously, this doesn’t go into a folder, but I’d stands up - with help, or leans against the wall on a shelf.

You just solved my jewelry problem! Thx!

I've seen many great ideas for jewelry storage that goes on the wall, but I've never made any. I really like your first idea using needlepoint canvas. Thanks for the easy and inexpensive storage ideas. We love you!

I used the plastic canvas without a frame long time ago for all my jewelry. Being an Avon rep, I have lots of earrings. The problem I had was putting everything back on to the canvas and not tossing them in a pile & then I had loads of earring to put on the canvas. Your system looks a lot stronger. Thanks, Norrine for all the wonderful ideas.

Love the idea of the needle point mesh! I want to put it into a picture frame and hang it on the wall. I’m visual… out of sight is out of mind. 🤪

Awesome idea! I was thinking that if you made jewelry to sell at a craft fair it would be a good way to display everything! Thanks for another great project Norrine!

I have been mentally working on a similar idea using fiberglass window screening in a wood frame to hang on the wall. You have inspired me to get that done.

Love both ideas and that they are hidden away kind if a security camouflage! Thanks so much Norine, your ideas are awesome!!

Brilliant, thank you so much. Xx

Great job!! Thanks for sharing ❤️

Thank you for both versions!

I use 3 ring binders for organizing paperwork for purchases for my home. One for small appliances, one for Large appliances, one for outdoor purchases. I use sheet protectors, write the name of the item & purchase date with a permanent marker on the front.. I put the sales receipt, warranty info & info on all repairs in the protector. It has saved a lot of money buy having all the paperwork I need for repairs. I can easily see how old an appliance is. I also have a binder with landscaping receipts, which tells me the names of all my trees, scrubs etc. I included a drawing of my lot showing where everything is planted.

Very clever sunshine. 🌞💚

Awesome! Thank you SO much.

What a great idea this is!!!! I never would have thought of that. And I also love the canvas better than just foam core, so I plan on making some of those. I can't thank you enough for all the time and wisdom you give to all of us. And you are such a fun person! How I wish you lived closer (I'm on the other coast...)!!! Have a wonderful day!

Great ideas. For the holes in the foam, if you still have old school eyelet setter and punch( ones used with hammer or a grommet set), will work great for the holes you need in the foam core. And agree with other comments, 2 sides of the foam and stager the joints will be more sturdy.

As always, great ideas Norrine! I like the canvas better too. As always Norrine, thank you for sharing all of your hard work, creativity, talent and inspiration! Stay safe, healthy and positive! God bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸😊

Dollar tree foam curlers placed in a box. Instant ring holder. Also I used foam board inside clear sheet protectors in a binder

It’s going to be so Fun to decorate these, Thank you so much for another brilliant DIY🌺🥰

Wow! Love it. Hope you feel better soon. Thank you!

So glad you made this video. This is a great idea. It would also be a nice group activity…could decorate the frame or background, too. Thank you.

Great idea… loved the netting best

I like the design with the plastic canvas but I would add another foam core frame on the back and overlap the joints found on the front. So the across legs would be wider and the up & down legs shorter. This would make this so much stronger and allow more clearance for the earrings. Also might add a card stock page between earring frames. And finally, If you have one, use a drill to make holes for the binder rings.

Love this idea! Perfect way to store the earrings I have been making from Amy Romeu.

Love this.

I have used the idea of plastic canvas in a wooden frame for my earrings. Took two matching and added a piano type hinge to help display and stand. Not the best for motor home travel. I Will Be revamping to the binder concept! Perfect!! Thank you So Much.

Definitely like the canvas better

I love this! You are awesome!❤️❤️❤️

I made one of these several years ago and it has been fabulous - EXCEPT that I just glued a sheet of the plastic canvas into a photo frame. It worked really well.

I love this idea!!! I’m living in my RV at the moment; probably until July. This would take up next to no room. Perfect! Thank you ☺️

Love this! Use a zipper binder and make it a travel case! Also, as a fellow "curly girl", I would love to know what your hair routine is! You're curls are amazing!

Nice!! I made a stand with card board and strips of cotton lace edging to hang my earrings off of but I really like the idea of putting them in a binder to keep dust off them. Thanks for sharing.

Oh I so needed help in my jewelry business org

Another idea, is replace the inside pieces of a photo frame with a piece of plastic canvas. Either hot glue it in or just use the tabs. You can hang it on the wall by gluing ribbon on the frame to make a hanger. I've done this, it works great!

Very clever. It would be great to mix and match the two types for what's needed. I felt like this video was a "Challenge the Crafty Organizer" You are so creative, that would be a fun thing for you to do every once in a while!

What a wonderful idea! My house was broken into last week and I lost almost all of my jewelry. On the plus side, I make jewelry, so I can remake a lot of it, except for one-of-a-kind items. I like the idea of keeping it in the kitchen, very clever.

Awesome... My daughter has a very large jewelry collection.... I'll have to tell her about this

I have a picture framing shop and end up with long strips of foam core all the time. I’m sure if your viewers went into a frame shop they would be able to get strips for free. I love it when I don’t have to throw them in the garbage and the get a second use. Thanks for your videos.

Both great ideas!!✌️🐞🕉️

Looks awesome Norrine. I like the first one too. Thank you. Hope you had a good week.

You could freeze your glue sticks To get rid of webs.😁❤

Can't wait to make one! Thank you!👍🐬

I Love this 💡😍

Hi Norrine, thank you so much for this wonderful idea! Just what I need to organise and keep my jewellery in xoxo

What an awesome idea! I can see making one of these in a smaller binder and create a flap or closure to use as a travel jewelry holder!

Also might throw off a thief. Who would look in a bookshelf. Lol

If punching the holes for the binder is a hassle, you could sit each page loose in a magazine file. Love the idea. I choose my jewellery by colour, so I would have a page for each colour.

This gives me an idea to make a smaller one for traveling. Normally my jewelry that I'm going to wear while on a trip gets thrown in a bag. I've tried the pill box but you are limited on what you can bring. This was a great idea!

Very cool 💎

I used the plastic screening without the frame, but will frame them as you did, then put them in a photo box. There easy to grab, the box is pretty and I don’t have to dust them🤣. The poster board will make them sturdier. Love your ideas ., thanks for all you do.

Thank you my 11-year-old is into making jewelry this will be awesome for her thank you thank you and God bless

Love this idea. Will have to make one for all my earrings. I just got one of those finger blades and excited to try it out.

you might like a Japanese hole punch for thicker papers / boards. I'm adding this too much to-do-project list. I have a lot of earrings :)

Awesome ideas..

very nice, and cheap awesome

Those are amazing ☺️

What a cool idea! I'm going to make some and hang them up to decorate my wall.

I liked the mesh. I would also like the mesh in a wooden frame

Love them! I think the mesh is my fave. TFS! 🥰

I have used screen to hang the earrings on, we had some leftovers from replacing old screens.

Good Morning ☀️ Loved it🥰

wonderful ideas!

You could also add bits of elastic to hold bracelets and hairpins! This would be really useful for cosplay conventions, you could put all of one character's jewelry on one page, sort of like a dream board. you could also sort your jewelry by color or style, a different page/ binder for each. I really love this fantastic idea! Thank you for sharing your great ideas with us glad you are feeling better, we missed you.

For the holes instead of using a hole punch, you could use grommets. It would give a nice decorative touch, plus make it more sturdy. The kits that come with the tool & some grommets aren't usually super expensive--around $20 & it come in handy for other things--like even adding a hole in a leather belt.

Hi. Norrine. Cute ideas for displaying jewelry.

I like that it is not metal screen. I always worry if that will tarnish jewelry.

Great idea, Norrine. I have gotten rid of most of my jewelry. I never change my rings and don't even wear earrings, since I don't want to lose them when I have to wear a mask.

You can use a picture frame and cork board material. The cork can be covered with card stock or fabric. The cork is easy to puncture and it’s lite. It isn’t that expensive and you can use it for multiple projects. You can get a picture frame from Dollar Tree with/without a kickstand.

love this idea! it will be great for my earrings. it will let me free up some drawers. I have icecube trays in drawers to organize a ton of earrings...time to purge some of the old ones.

This is a cute idea! I kept thinking though that I would be scared that something might fall off of the boards. My thought was that you could cut the boards slightly smaller, and slide them into one of those plastic page protectors maybe? It would also solve the problem of trying to punch those holes...THAT looks difficult.

Brilliant!! Thinking I can make a smaller one to bring on a 2+ week vacation. One of the most frustration things for me is untangling jewelry (which takes a long time) when I could be taking in the sites. Thank You!😁😊😀🙃

You could have used the awl to make the holes instead of the craft knife too! If it was thick enough as you got it in closer to the handle.

Very interesting!!! I have been searching for a good diy for all the costume jewelry that I have. This gives me a good start, but I will find a way to use wood. I was already thinking of separate panels (your "pages"). This is my confirmation. Thank you so much!!

I had 2 other DIY jewlery systems in the past that are also verry easy to make. I thook a canvas to paint on first decorate as you wish than put nails in the upper wooden thing (cant find the name for it 🙈) but nit al the way trough on the nails i would hang my necklacesses and bracelets. Than for earrings i got a photoframe thook out the glass again decorate the way you want i put in scrapbook cardstock in de background and painted the frame drill smal hols in de back board like a pegboard so you can hang earrings in the hols. My daugther still usses te systems i think its now over 5 years ago that i made these and wen you get tired of them or redecorate your home, you can redecorate them and its feels as new again

What a great idea! My earrings are currently in a plastic tackle box 😂

Binders are so cool, especially for a 🤓 like me! Such a great space-saving option. My only issue is that I feel I need mine to be openly displayed, in order to use them (out of sight, out of mind). Nonetheless, this is a great option to consider❣️

I liked the first one with the plastic canvas. I wonder if you could use a drill to put the holes thru the foamboard and canvas to put it in the binder. I also thought that if you had something that had big beads on it, you could add small pieces of foamboard to the corners to thicken that page so it wouldn't dig into the page in front of it... It's a great idea tho, and so easy to make!!!

Simply brilliant!💕

This is a really good idea. I did something similar to this years ago & hung it it my closet for my earrings. Works great.

Hi! This is beautiful and so timely! Another you tuber that I watch is The Posh Paper Lady. She posted a video yesterday about making a binder! I can see combining your videos for gifts!!!! Amazing video as usual!!!

Perfect, I’m going to try both! And binder idea is wonderful bc I like to cover my jewelry, and ofcourse conceal it bc I live in house share/landlord situation so we might have guests or workmen or need to come into my room for repairs/ emergencies...it’s easier to move my binders to all different places in my room! I have the perfect decorative one binder in mind with butterflies and flowers all over it! I have so many ideas now! ❤️

I found cd holders at my local thrift shop. Some are wall mounted and I have one that stands alone. They are great for organizing and displaying my earrings, those with hooks instead of posts. I’ve also used decorative grating from Hobby Lobby, cut to size and stapled in picture frames which I hung on the wall. Both work very well to organize earrings in small spaces. I couldn’t figure out how to upload a picture. Sorry

Great DIY! I liked the holder with the mesh best. :)

I was just thinking about doing a jewelry holder because my jewelry is out of control lol!

For foam core, a screw punch might work better than a hole punch.

Great video (I assume you don’t tire of hearing that)! Years ago I stuck a straight pin through a canvas into the wall and hung my costume jewelry earrings in the canvas. I hung the closed earrings at the bottom, since I didn’t have a frame. Because the canvas lay against the wall, it was sturdy enough for me. Your paper clip “S” idea is brilliant! Couldn’t you use that for the closed earrings as well?
