The post 15 Ridiculous Easy DIY Repurposed Jewelry Storage Ideas appeared first on EcoSalon.

Like many self-described fashionistas out there, I have a lot of jewelry. From thrift store finds, estate sale vintage pieces, handmade designs from Etsy and even some family heirlooms, most of my jewelry wouldn’t be described as fine jewelry, but it’s precious to me. And what’s even more precious is when I can actually find and wear what I am looking for–which happens all too rarely. Unfortunately, my jewelry is spread out in 4 different jewelry chests, 2 different trays and a hanging display. It’s not pretty, it’s not organized and I’m sure I’m not the only one can say this about her jewelry collection.

Since my jewelry is always is such a state of disarray, I am always on the lookout for jewelry storage solutions. I would love to be able to find exactly what it is I’m looking for–and for it to not be in a tangled mess when I do find it.  I know I’m not the only one with this desire either, so read on for some jewelry storage inspiration. 

1. Old Rake Hanging Storage

For those necklaces for which it is safe to store hanging, try repurposing an old garden rake like this one at Tub Connection. Just saw off the handle, hang and that’s it–instant storage (above). A style statement AND problem-solver, all in one.

2. Repurposed Printer Drawer

Black Forest Cottage sells antique print-type drawers that have been repurposed into hanging jewelry storage cabinets. This would make a unique addition to your bedroom decor and you could see ALL your jewelry at one time.

3. Silver Leaf Jewelry Cabinet

The blogger over at Jen-uinely Inspired took a free-standing jewelry cabinet she had purchased and turned it into this gorgeous silver-leafed beauty. Maybe a Craigslist find that you don’t like the looks of (but serves the purpose for keeping baubles organized), just needs a paint job or other style rehab?

4. Jewelry Cabinet Mirror

One solution is to purchase a jewelry cabinet like this one shared on This Girl’s Life blog. The pros–it can hold a lot of jewelry AND it doubles as a full-length mirror (when closed). The cons–they can be expensive and might not a good fit for your decor.

5. DIY Cutting Board Hanging Storage

Another DIY idea is to take old cutting boards, paint them, add hooks, and wall-mount them for hanging necklace storage. See some inspiration at diy enthusiasts.

6. Vintage Industrial Machinist Cabinet

This 37-drawer, 1940s vintage machinist cabinet might have enough storage for my collection with room to grow. What about yours? Would it fit in here? Since hanging necklaces can be damaging to them, this would allow for plenty of flat storage of necklaces.

7. DIY Free-Standing jewelry Cabinet

This lovely project from Angie Johnson at design*sponge is made using IKEA “Fira” chests. Sadly those chests have been discontinued by IKEA, but they have been replaced by other similar products that one could repurpose.

Practicality you didn’t even know you needed.

This easy project costs pennies and adds rustic charm to any decor. Hang it in a bathroom or above a dresser in the bedroom to keep your necklaces untangled and organized (also, so you don’t forget to wear them). The piece of wood used in this project was found on the beach. Try taking apart a pallet or sourcing reclaimed wood in your area.

Supplies:

Plank of wood, drill with ¼” bit, knobs (found at Anthropologie for approximately $5.00), hammer and nails.

Step 1. Wipe down the plank with a cloth and some wood soap and remove any old nails.

Step 2. Drill holes where you would like the knobs to be. Make sure your drill bit is the size of the knob screw.

Step 3. Screw the knobs into the plank of wood. If your knob screws are longer than the plank of wood in the back, you will have to saw them off. It depends on the type of knob and thickness of the wood you have.

Step 4.  Attach it to the wall with a hammer and nails. (You won’t have to worry about finding a stud because the jewelry holder is lightweight. (If you are going to hang heavier objects, like jackets, you will need to use screws and find the stud.)

Voila!
