DIY Jewelry Display Ideas: What to do with all that bling?

Whether you're obsessed with fashion or not, we (especially we Southern gals) are all looking for ways to store our jewelry. Let's face it. Those jewelry boxes we got in middle school aren't cutting it. Your necklaces find a way to tangle up into the most stubborn knots known to man (even though you swear you haven't touched those necklaces in years). Your pairs of earrings somehow lose their other half. Do yourself a favor, and regift those jewelry boxes or have a yard sale. I've got some DIY jewelry storage options that you're sure to love.

For your necklaces, make a run to Walmart or Target for some shower curtain hooks (not the ones that close shut). You'll spend anywhere from $4 to $7 dollars on a priceless way to neatly organize your fashionable bling. Hang the hooks on your towel rack, and drape each necklace on one to two hooks depending on their weight as seen below. Now isn't that way better than the outdated cherry wood jewelry box with the velvet interior? You can actually see what you have and grab it in a jiffy.

Why not take all your lovely jewelry and make it into a fantastic display? Below, I repurposed a shabby chic looking shutter as an earring display. You can find gently worn shutters at yard sales and online, and they look great hanging on a wall or simply leaning against one. I then added a vintage bottle to feature one of my favorite necklaces (Thanks, Lauren, for making it for me!). On the other side of the shutter, I used two of my mason jars to house bracelets and showcase a pair of earrings. The finishing touch is a little bird tray my mum gave me, filled with a few of my most precious eclectic pieces. Hiding my jewelry in a drawer or box doesn't work for me. That's why I turned my jewelry display into the centerpiece on a shelf in my room. Like it? I sure do!

Shop owners, you could run with this DIY concept as a way of selling your jewelry too!
