Accessories can make or break an outfit. With precious cargo such as your favorite necklaces and earrings, why throw them in a jewelry box to get tangled in a bunch when you can display them beautifully with these nifty DIY ideas?

Picture Frames

Picture frames can be combined with wire mesh, lace, beads or even ribbon to display those dangly earrings or bangles. You can make this DIY project very modern and futuristic looking, or very vintage. Either way you go, you’ll never lose a pair of earrings again!

Cheese Grater

There’s more to this kitchen utensil than scrapin cheese: you can paint it or leave it with a chrome finish to hang your earrins through the cheese grater holes.

Clothes Hangers

You can add small metal hooks to a wooden hanger or even fabric draped over it to hold necklaces and earrings. When it comes to adding fabric, make sure to cut an opening at the top for the hanger to maximize your jewelry storage.

Wall Hooks

With some adhesive tape and some creativity, you will barely notice wall hooks as they display your jewelry. They can be used individually or even in pairs with ribbon.

Cork Board

You can paint it, put fabric over it and decorate it with pushpins to hang your jewelry!

Door Knobs

Attach assorted doorknobs on a piece of wood. I know that sounds incredibly simple, but this DIY can look adorable. Just hang your necklaces and bracelets on here!
