Organizing Your Earrings

I often see questions on how to display or organize your earrings. When I have a chain, I often string it from one push pin to another and hang the hook kind from them.

Right now, I am using a makeup hanging basket that is sitting on my etegere, and a wire mesh heart basket that is hanging on the wall. Each one holds the hook and post kinds.

And I added a nice little bonus. This is an actual fingerprint and yes, a rose can be seen in the middle. Proof positive that art comes first from nature!

Egg Cartons for Storing Earrings

I use the bottom of empty egg cartons to store my earrings. They each have 12 separate compartments and you can store them one on top of each other if you just use the bottoms and throw away the tops.

Keeping Track of Earrings

Do you have a hard time keeping up with earrings? Here's a thought. I bought 4 plastic ice cube trays. In each of the cube spaces I put a single pair of earrings. They stack easily and you can see 12 at once and find the pair you are looking for in a jiffy. This takes up very little room on my bathroom shelf also.

Organizing Earrings

Egg cartons are great for organizing your earrings. I use them in a top drawer and also in one of those plastic drawers that you can purchase from a K-Mart, Walmart or Dollar Store. You just cut the part that the eggs are placed in and organize your earrings, works great!

Keeping Earrings Sorted

I was having a problem keeping up with my earrings. I wanted to separate my real ones from my plastic ones, etc. so I came up with an idea. I purchased several ice cube trays. In 2 different colors. I put my good earrings in the white trays, in the cube section, one pair in each. I put the others in the pinkish trays. They store so well, and are easy to find, easy to see, and they also stack well so the colors get stacked and I don't have to go through all of them to find a certain pair. IT WORKS!

A great way to organize your jewelry and also a nice way to display them is with some plain and simple window screen. Which is also very inexpensive. You can purchase a roll of window screen (preferably the kind that's somewhat tighter with smaller holes) for about $2 $3 in your choice of color at Wal Mart, Lowes, Home Depot.

Simply cut it in to strips about an inch wide and lengths of your choice and tag in on the wall about finger lengths apart one under the other. Myself I hang all silver earrings on one strip, gold on the strip underneath, then black and so forth. You can display hundreds of earrings taking up very minimal space and super organized that way. And it's very simple to add any new earrings you buy in a split second and never have to rearrange.

I am a bartender and require to dress and accessorize every week keeping my earrings on the wall like this I a simple and easy way to take one look and see everything I own without digging around and finding the right color. You can also hang your necklaces, bracelets on there. People that come to my house and see my display on the wall always think its so cool. :)

Hope this helps some of you out there.
