Necklace & Jewelry Organization
As the closet clean-out continued, next on the hit list was an array of jewelry I never wear. Truthfully, I’m terrible at accessorizing, opting most days for diamond stud earrings or simple hoops, and James’ birthstone necklace or my favorite “j” necklace. But, I’m hoping weeding through and giving away what I haven’t worn in forever and keeping everything else out in the open will encourage me to wear it more. I think it’s working because I’ve worn three different necklaces this week.
I’ve got my necklaces hanging on a piece of foam board that I covered with decorative paper. I used thumbtacks to hold the necklaces.
Thumbtacks also hold some of my earrings.
Little trays are perfect for keeping bracelets and watches.
I’ve had the first jewelry board for awhile, but I just made this one, since I now have extra room with lots of clothes donated.
Bowls from Anthropologie and West Elm hold bangles.
I really like having everything were I can see it. The decorative paper is from Paper Source. The silver thumbtacks are from WalMart.

Loved it the first time and still do. I need to do something like this, the drawer thing is just not working!!
Thanks for the inspiration. I totally need to do this! I see a project in my future!
I'd like to make an appt. for you to fly to nashville and you do my necklaces this weekend. I'll buy lunch =) xoxo shel
This is a great idea and even better – it looks great too! My "real estate" for storing stuff is pretty limited at the moment, but this inspires me to try to think of a better way to keep my jewelry so that I actually see it, so I will wear it more!
Beautiful! This reminds me that I need to re-organize my jewelry armoire!
A fabulous idea. I always find myself fighting with my necklaces as they get tangled with each other. you have inspired me!!

IT's nice when it is out so you can see what you have. Great organization!
I like this because it's easy to switch out the paper. 🙂 There are so many options for jewelry storage these days, I like your option. http://seven-one-six.blogspot.com
I did something similar this past summer and I'm loving how it works for me. You can see what I did here: http://organized31.blogspot.com/2012/09/organizing-necklaces.html.
So gorgeous, girl. I have run out of room so I think I need to do something like this. I spy a familiar bracelet 😉 Have a great weekend.
How lovely! The display looks so bright and fun. I need to do something like this for my jewelry — it's always getting tangled, and I hate not being able to see everything, all out in front of me! 🙂 Happy Friday!
Oh my gosh, Megan!!!! I love it!!! It's absolutely beautiful! I'm a longtime follower, so this has me doing a happy dance because I did something so similar just a couple months ago!! Check out my own version: http://www.livelovediy.com/2012/09/diy-corkboard-jewelry-organizer.html
Well done, I love it!! ~ Virginia @ LiveLoveDIY.com
This is such a great way to organize jewelry. It looks so pretty Megan. Mine is in a couple drawers and I tend to reach for the same earrings, bracelet and necklace all the time. You've inspired me to find a place to organize like you have. It's fun to switch out what we're wearing. Love your jewelry….especially that turquoise beaded necklace and pretty wrapped bracelet. Enjoy your weekend!
Love the board idea with the necklaces, I really need something like that. Jewelry organization is my nemesis, thanks for the great ideas!
Such a great idea! I am totally looking for a new solution in my closet! Thanks!
I keep all of my jewelry out on display in my closet too! It's not only easy to reach and nicely organized but it makes me closet feel pretty 😉 Love the foam board idea!
