Getting Organized-DIY- Earring & Necklace Holder

Reading and seeing this post, you all may see why I got the nickname "JenGlamGirl" and why I made my email jenglamgirl@gmail.com winks. 

So  my jewelry collection has been everywhere, all over the bathroom counter, in small boxes on the bathroom counter, in bathroom drawers, on my craft table, and just some of it in the jewelry box. I did not want to humiliate myself with the mess and chaos and share before pictures, so please just take my word for it. It was truly a giant mess of jewelry. My poor poor hubby, he is so patient with  me. 


Well on this New Years Trek to "Getting Organized" ... I got busy. Everything I used for the Earring and necklace holder, besides the thumb tacks, were from my wonderful sponsor Canvas Corp.


I used a chunky velvet 12x12 canvas board
cream colored poly cotton string
two large black metal clips
two small canvas corp boards
and small silver thumb tacks.



I pulled the string real tight, overlapping it over the side of the canvas board, and then pushed in the thumb tacks. They were real hard to push in, and aren't going anywhere. Which is very good. 
 

everything is so organized now, I can actually see my sets. YAY!
 A favorite necklace. My twin brother got it for me two Christmas's ago. I love it.
my favorite earrings! Ahhhhh' aren't they purdy? They are always my go to pair if I don't know what else to wear with an outfit. I got them at TJ Max almost a year ago, they are so light I don't even know I am wearing them. They are sterling silver, so they should last a long time, which is the best.
J- FOR JENNIE or JEN

I LURVE LURVE LURVE IT!

Next I moved onto my rings. An ice cube tray is perfect for your big and small rings. 

 Ahhh' my favorite ring from my mama... he is so Ca-hoot! I love him.
 
and for those of you who may not of seen how I organized my bracelets, here it is again. I used rose water vases and just stacked the bracelets onto the vases. 
THANKS FOR STOPPING BY COM TODAY- 
Happy Organizing, and Happy Primping. 
You all have a PRETTY DAY! 
xo,

What a great idea. As it turns out today i organised my jewellery because a dear friend bought me a beautiful golden beaded lush box. Like you i have bits here, bits there, on the dressing table, in the bathroom cabinet. I didn't reduce anything bar a small Avon box but atleast when i clean the dressing table i can give my new box pride of place. May still consider making one of yours though. Happy New Year :)

Ummm, I love this..I will probably duplicate...my ears aren't pierced (don't ask) and I was just thinking the other day that I needed a way to put them on something and this just might work...I'm currently working on my closet organizer and might have to incorporate this somewhere....thanks and great job...love the nail polish!

Fabulous ideas, I am always trying to find ways to showcase my jewelry, thank you:)

Ya know? I like this idea, because right now I'm using an earring holder, that I made from a picture frame; but I don't like how I awkwardly have to fumble around with it for some earrings, reaching around the back, or having to just take the whole darn thing down, to grab just one pair. Dressing up is supposed to be fun. It is NOT supposed to test my level of patience first thing in the morning! I like that everything is right up front and center on this one! Easy access!.. Sooooo, I just may try this! Thanks for sharing how Jen! ~tina
