Mission Organization - Jewelry!





















My jewelry is out of control. I spent just a short time organizing and wanted to share my tips.


*I used my existing jewelry box but if you do not have one you can always use one of your dresser drawers for storage. You can also use a hanger to store your necklaces and/or those great little divided boxes that you can purchase at Wal-mart, Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, etc.


*Straws! Straws are a wonderful and cheap way of keeping jewelry from being a tangled mess. Is all you do is slide the tube down the chain and it will keep your jewelry from tangling up. See picture.


*I sorted all my necklaces by color and went a little extra by labeling them! It will keep me organized and remember quickly which space is for what color. See picture.


*For my larger pieces and sets (matching earrings, necklace, bracelet) I just put them in an individual snack zip-loc bag and placed in my jewelry box drawer. It will be easy to find, keep them from banging up with other pieces, and keep them from getting lost. See picture.


*Construction Paper! I grabbed different color pieces of construction paper, cut to fit my jewelry box drawers, and lined them. I divided my earrings by color now they are easy to find and easy to put back. See picture.


*I also have another spot for my sterling silver jewelry. Since I make it, I have a lot of it. Try to keep your sterling silver jewelry in sealed baggies as it will help the jewelry from tarnishing.


This all took me less than an hour and I had everything I needed to complete the mission. I like cheap fixes!


Now you can come join us for a Girl’s Night Out at Charming Charlie this Sunday, July 26th from 6-9pm. You will receive 10% off your purchase. You will now be organized to add more things! :-)
