Just stick in pretty pins (or just silver sewing pins) and hang. <br /><br />For my dangly earrings. . . almost same concept. My sister in law came up with this one. She took the glass out of an 8x10 pitcture frame, covered the back with satin, then covered the satin with fishnet (cut up a pair of tights). The earrings hook right onto the fishnet. So basically instead of a picture in the frame, you have fishnet covered fabric. Everything is in sight and fabulously displayed. The frame sits on a shelf by the full length mirror in my closet.laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607121659661340787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-69162376407839501962010-01-31T15:00:52.321-06:002010-01-31T15:00:52.321-06:00Well...

It's a great <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90106506" rel="nofollow">6-drawer chest</a> that's easily broken up with miniature boxes to separate/organize the drawer space.<br /><br />I've got the black-brown version and love it. There are probably others out there with the same type of functionality but the look and feel that you're seeking. Just wanted to share what works for me. :)<br /><br />Saludos,<br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06571090369217939246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-54861508790552961292010-01-28T09:03:10.520-06:002010-01-28T09:03:10.520-06:00It's not so chic, but it's cheap and hidde...It's not so chic, but it's cheap and hidden away in the closet. Tons of small hooks that screw into the wall are perfect for hanging tons of long necklaces. For smaller pieces I love using office supply trays, the ones that normally go in desks, the different sizes work nicely for different pieces. For jewlery that I wear everyday, I have a couple of capiz shell bowls that sit out and are easy to throw things into. Having this organization saves me so much time when getting ready! No more untangling necklaces or trying to find the match to earrings.The Statenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641275666955457530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-90946638611757394252010-01-28T08:37:05.077-06:002010-01-28T08:37:05.077-06:00I still have not figured out how to store my jewel...I still have not figured out how to store my jewelry.

Cut to desired size, cover in fabric (simple burlap or linen looks nice and sets jewelry off) and hang on the wall. She bought long, decorative push pins to hang necklaces, bracelets, and dangly earrings from.

I used to try and artfully display all my jewelry on my vanity but as my collection grew it became more and more difficult.<br /><br />My solution is to designate a drawer to my collection using these:<br /><br />http://www.containerstore.com/shop/closet/accessoryStorage/jewelry?productId=10021573<br /><br />and these:<br /><br />http://www.containerstore.com/shop/closet/accessoryStorage/jewelry?productId=10021574<br /><br />I used the smaller slots for all my earrings and the larger rectangular or square trays for my statement necklaces and cuffs. All of the pieces can be made to fit together side by side so you end up with this custom fitted drawer organizer. Plus all of the colors of the jewelry looks so great against the matte black. I feel like I'm shopping out of a boutique display case every morning.<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br /><br />Melanie xxxTheIconicBlog.comhttp://www.theiconicblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-77808696555791274912010-01-27T14:02:08.205-06:002010-01-27T14:02:08.205-06:00I too have a jewelry sickness.

I have used most of the ideas above and it is still overflowing. <br /><br />My necklaces are stored in three main places: an over the door rack with 6 hooks for the chunkier pieces. I have one of those wooden people with bendable arms and legs with chains traped over the neck and I have an smallish candlelabra for more delicate pieces. <br /><br />I have an old Bentley Tea chest with divided compartments for big bracelets and pins. I have a plastic divided craft box for earrings that goes in my drawer. For rings I put them on the arms of my wooden figure and on a glass ring holder. In addition, I have several pedestal soap holders for random pieces that overflow. All of this is on top of my chest on chest.<br /><br />And, I have a large cut-glass bowl in my bathroom for dropping things in as I take them off. <br /><br />I am in total lust over the domino chest and I think it would solve my problems. I always worry the hanging necklaces will fall and break - the silk threads in the vintage pieces break down over time. Sorry this was so long!dcgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811561419517354560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-28883669187042031432010-01-27T13:43:55.096-06:002010-01-27T13:43:55.096-06:00I am JUST putting together a post titled "Doe...I am JUST putting together a post titled "Does Jewelry Grow on Trees", showing different ways of storing, hanging and sorting jewelry!!!
