Jewellery Drawer:
Convert a dresser drawer into a dedicated jewellery space using felt and a repurposed collection of decorative dishware.
- Step 1: Measure the side of drawer to get the height, so you know how tall the small bowls, dishes and teacups you assemble can be. Look for an eclectic mix of colours and patterns.
- Step 2: To keep dishes from sliding around, use good quality 100% wool felt to line the drawer (wool felt is more durable and resists dirt and staining). Measure the interior of the drawer and then cut and apply felt to hardboard or thick poster board using spray adhesive.
- Step 3: Place the felt liner in the drawer and your cups and dishes on top of the lining for plenty of places to drape and hold your jewellery.
Natural Jewellery Tree: Use branches to create an organic display, perfect for hanging necklaces and earrings.
- Step 1: Look for real or faux branches with plenty of sturdy offshoots for hanging. Cut branches down to your desired height, and arrange inside a glass or vase.
- Step 2: Paint the branches for an elegant new look, or leave the branches natural.
- Step 3: Arrange decorative stones around the branches to keep them in place. Hang earrings, necklaces and bracelets from the branches.
- Gift it: Create the jewellery tree and add a new pair of earrings or necklace as an extra special gift.
Framed Solutions: Start with a beautiful frame or paint a thrift store treasure to match your décor. Attach pegboard, corkboard or even a window screen to the back and paint or cover with fabric that can be changed out as often as you like. Use hooks, tacks or decorative pins to hang jewellery.
Repurpose: Look around your home for items that can find a new life organizing your jewellery.
