DIY Jewelry Organizer

Sharing is caring!

Disclosure: I was chosen to be a Michaels Maker for Michaels Stores. All opinions are 100% my own.
I have a confession. I’ve been in desperate need of an organization system for my jewelry for along time. Ok, like forever. In our old home all my jewelry sat on top of my dresser in a big pile. Now it sits on the floor of our closet. Yes, I just admitted that. There are still a lot of places in our home that have a long ways to go. Which is why organization is my biggest priority this year. Sometimes I still feel like we are moving in.
For our Michael’s Makers Challenge this month, it’s all about personalization. So I made a DIY Jewelry Organizer that is not only functional but totally matches my style. Michael’s has a brand new collection of surfaces, letters, frames that come in more modern, eclectic or rustic styles. I honestly could have bought a million pieces for future projects, there are so many cool things to work with.
DIY Decorative Jewelry Organizer
It’s funny how our styles change over the years. I used to be a huge jewelry person and I had a lot of it. A million pairs of dangly earrings and tons of bracelets. Now I find myself wearing really simple pieces like a pretty chain necklace, stud earrings and my gold bangles.
Bracelet Holder
To fit my personal needs, I wanted a few hooks for my necklaces, places for my bracelets and then a little place for all my stud earrings and a few dangly ones. I wanted the piece to not only be organizational but also decorative. White, metal and some awesome leather accents.

The leather hooks are my favorite. The have a clean rustic modern look to them and I had so much fun hand stamping them. This was a new craft for me and I loved it.

Jewelry Organizer Tutorial 1
Start by painting the trim of the Memo Board and the wood block white. Then I drilled holes into the board. I cut one wood dowel in half and then secured it into the wood using wood glue.
Elmer's Pro Bond
After the two coats of white paint were dry, I glued the wood block directly onto the memo board using Elmer’s Pro Bond. I LOVE this glue.

I wanted to add a few leather accents, so I made leather hooks and stamped them.

JEWELRY ORGANIZATION STATION
I can’t tell you how good it feels to have this project checked off. And I can finally see all of my jewelry in one place!
If you don’t know where to begin, you can always take a look at some of the fun projects on Michaels.com or the other 49 Makers’ ideas on The Glue String for to see how they personalized their crafts!

    I LOVE those leather hooks. What a great idea! My husband came up with a super simple solution for my jewelry mess that hangs on one of our closet racks, but I think I might need to try something like this as well. Thanks for sharing!

    I love this! I am a professional organizer and want to get my jewelry off of the top of my dresser so bad, but hate those hanging jewelry armoire things. I don’t have a ton of jewelry either and am definitely going to attempt this soon! Thanks for sharing

Which kitchen is your favorite? 1, 2, or 3? Coasta Which kitchen is your favorite? 1, 2, or 3? Coastal farmhouse, earthy contemporary or retro mid-century modern? I recently had the opportunity to tour all three of the model homes at the brand-new Poulsbo Meadows community by @tripointehomes.official . All three homes have completely different styles yet, are equally beautiful. To get each of these looks it all comes down to picking the right finishes and creating a cohesive look for your home. 

On the blog today, I’m walking you through how to mix different finishes together to get each of these looks. Plus, you get to see TONS more pics of the homes. 

The Poulsbo Meadows community is opening soon; you can join the interest list to learn more about the community and availability. #ad #tripointehomes #poulsbomeadows

IT’S DONE!!! I still have some finishing touches IT’S DONE!!! I still have some finishing touches to do with lights and styling but I couldn’t wait to share a peek! I seriously cannot believe our house is finally the way I envisioned it so long ago. Thank you all for the input on dark exterior colors, I couldn’t not be happier with how it turned out. I will admit I was a little hesitant with the shingle stain at first, but seeing it all together is so good. It’s the more modern PNW vibe I wanted for our home, I can’t wait to share even more.

Have you thought about adding more smart home tech Have you thought about adding more smart home technology into your own home? #ad It's been something we have talked about a lot over the past year, and I am loving the new products we've recently added from @amazon and @ring to refresh our home! Check out this video to see how I use them in my everyday life and head to the blog to read more about each product and @alexa99 #askalexa #amazonhome #smarthome
Guess what?! Both our leather sofa and drum coffee Guess what?! Both our leather sofa and drum coffee table are back in stock! We love both of these pieces from @overstock (gifted), and they are used daily around here. I will say when it comes to leather couches, we all give this one a 10/10, it’s incredibly comfortable and a piece you will have fore a looooong time.

One of my top questions is about the console table One of my top questions is about the console table in our entry way, I got it from Arhaus about 6 years ago and haven’t seen it in stock since... BUT they have two other ones on sale right now that have similar looks to them. I also rounded up a few more that will give you the same look. I linked them to this post in the @liketoknow.it app and will share in stories as well!
