Organizing and Displaying Pierced-Ear Earrings

I use a 1" wide grosgrain ribbon. Choose a color you like, and tie a knot in each ends to keep the ends from fraying; or hem the ends if you're feeling flush on time and want a neater look. Hang up one end on the wall with a nail or cup hook. Then just poke the backs of the earrings through the ribbon. I have two 1.5-foot long ribbons hung up in my bedroom, and must have at least 40-50 pairs of all types (studs, hoops, hooks, etc.) hung up there. Very inexpensive, and makes it really easy to find the pair you want. Gussy it up with a bow or other trim at the top, and you've got a cute gift idea too.

That's a great idea ^_^ I don't actually have pierced ears, but I know a lot of friends who'll be getting one of these for christmas...

You could just dab a bit of clear nail varnish on the ends of the ribbons. That'll stop them from fraying and look neater than hemming or knotting.

What to do when like me and alot of my friends do not wear pants . we also don't wear jewelry or make up. We try to get a small purse with a shoulder strap that we can put over our head and shoulder. This works for us ladies. Just a little idea.
