Tackling Jewelry Chaos

Literally. 

A plastic tackle box with shelves that pop out when the lid is opened can make a perfect jewelry box. Really?  These tackle boxes have a lot of small compartments that are designed to hold a single lure. So why not re-purpose one of these boxes to keep your jewelry organized and tangle free.

It might take a little cleaning (who am I kidding, a lot of cleaning) but you might look for one at a garage sale if your budget is tight.  Or splurge and get a brand new one.  And have fun decorating the outside, get creative.  You will for sure save time and frustration by not having to untangle necklaces or look for the other earring if it's all nice and neatly stored in your customized jewelry box.
 
You have a few choices when it comes to storing and sorting earrings.  Like an empty egg carton, ice trays or a 28 day pill container.

Take a frame and attach plastic canvas to it.  A wire screen could work too for holding earrings.

Bracelets are the ideal length to display on a coffee mug tree.  Remember those?  They were a big hit not too long ago.  Does anybody know if they are still sold in stores.  If not, I am sure you'll find one in your local thrift store.
 
Here's another idea for necklaces.  A bulletin board and some tacks work perfectly. Decorate! I have seen some decorative tacks in stores that would be perfect for this project.  Paint the frame or glue jewels around the frame or both!!!  You decide.
