How to organize earrings



It doesn't take long for an earring collection to get out of control. If your

earrings


aren't organized, you won't be able to find the pair you're looking for when you need it. Use some or all of these ideas to organize you're earrings.







Things You'll Need:





Earrings



Ice cube trays



Mesh desktop organizer



Ribbons



Hanger



Lace



Window screening



Picture frame



Tea cup or goblet









Step
1



Keep in mind that mesh desktop organizers that you can find at office supply stores or, even better, thrift shops, are perfect for organizing post earrings. You can arrange dozens of earrings in one mesh organizer.




Step
2



Know tackle box inserts, especially the clear ones, are also great for organizing small earrings. Each pair of earrings gets its own compartment, and you can scan them all at once.




Step
3



Understand french hook earrings can dangle over the side of a cute tea cup or goblet. This way you can see all your French hook earrings an even use the center of the cup for another jewelry item such a necklace or bangle bracelets.




Step
4



Remember ice cube trays make a practical container for holding earrings. You probably don't want an ice cube tray sitting out on your dresser, but it may fit nicely in a drawer. You can even stack multiple ice cube trays full of earrings in a drawer.




Step
5



Be aware clip-on earrings can easily snap onto a thick piece of ribbon. Let ribbons dangle from a hanger, and you can organize dozens and dozens of clip-on earrings.




Step
6



Staple a piece of window screening into a picture frame. The earrings fit through the tiny spaces in the screen, and you can see them all at once. Choose a frame that complements the theme in your bedroom or bathroom and your

earring


organizer will fit right in.




Step
7



Find a wide piece of lace and hang it on the wall just from the top. Your earrings can fit in all the holes.







Tips & Warnings









Be creative. Once you start thinking of other ways to use things, you may find many items in your home that could be used for organizing jewelry.








If you haven't worn a pair of earrings in the last year, give it away. It's just clutter.
