Jewelry Organizer

I have other ideas for a jewelry organizer on here, but here's another idea. I just need to find the time to actually make one now!

A couple weeks ago I got a number of my necklaces in a knot. A big one. I mean a it-took-me-almost-two-hours-to-undo knot. I was, needless to say, extremely frustrated with it all. I don't know how many people have this problem but I do. This is probably because I sell jewelry on etsy, with almost half of my items being necklaces, so I have more than most. And a lot have very tiny, delicate chains, making it much easier to knot and much harder to undo.

Now, I have a beautiful frame jewelry organizer for my store jewelry that looks like this:And even two I recently made and did a tutorial for my own personal jewelry like these:
Heck, I even have a beautiful jewelry armior my husband got me when we were first married.

But alas, it was not enough. I just have too many necklaces! What's a girl to do? Here was my solution: an extreme jewelry organizer with 39 hooks and two bars to hold earrings!
It was very simple actually, all inspired by a Goodwill find.
I'm not sure but I believe this is one of those art cases you get for kids with different types of paint, pencils, and other art stuff.
I unscrewed the hinges and handles. I probably should have filled it with putty or something but I didn't, I knew where it was going and that area would not be seen by anyone so I didn't worry about it.
I then marked out where I wanted the hooks. I spaced it out every two inches and alternated every other row. On the bottom two rows I just put one hook at each end. This is where I put wooden dowels to hang earrings.
Then I went crazy with the spray paint! I sure am loving that stuff lately. It takes an ordinary, fairly unattractive piece and turns it into something new and clean!
On the hooks you can hang whatever you'd like.
I hung mostly necklaces but also bracelets and even earrings on the hooks.
The dowel is perfect for earrings, makes it easy to see and you can fit a lot on it!

I have had this up in my office/craftroom/jewelry making area for about a week and I am SERIOUSLY loving it.

Ribbon Can

Or holding anything else, too! Look how cute!

I was getting tired of storing my ribbon scraps in a shoe box. It was messy, unorganized, and not cutely stored. So I cleaned out an empty Cocoa Mix container and Mod Podge'd scrapbook paper on it. I cut the letters out of cardstock on my Cricut, then Mod Podge'd those on too. Sealing it all with another layer of Mod Podge.

I had cut 80+ sheets of vinyl for my Church's "Super Saturday" craft day, and each tube of vinyl came with a giant popsicle stick to rub the vinyl on with. I saved all those and quickly found a use for them. I wrapped my ribbon scraps around them and then stored them neatly in the cocoa container.

I still have smaller scraps that weren't really worth wrapping around the stick a couple times, so I'm going to cover another container soon and toss all the tiny scraps in there. I've started saving them if they are 2" or more now . . . in hopes of making a scrap ribbon belt like Ashley did at Lil Blue Boo.
