Jewelry is the thing that puts the total finish on an outfit. Simple, elegant, or sleek and brassy. Many a person has built quite the collection through their years but often find that the result is quite dismal. Necklaces, watches, earrings - all of which can't be found because there is no way to organize it. Here are a few clever ideas to organize your jewelry in an appealing but cheap way.

Watches and Bracelets

This little necessity can add as much to an outfit as it is functional, but what to do to organize them! I once had a friend that used to keep her watches on a paper towel dispenser. She attached it directly to the wall and wouldn't you know that it not only organized them but made them easily accessible as well. She also had another one that stored her rings. What a great space saver for your dresser!

Necklaces

Necklaces are so great until they get tangled and broken! A great way to organize them is to purchase a men's tie rack. A lot of these fit compactly into your closet or on the wall by your mirror. These allow you to hang them without getting them tangled while being able to twirl your way into the perfect necklace choice. Another inexpensive idea I have seen is to use a hanger with clothes pins in between to prevent tangling of your necklaces. Great hint for traveling with necklaces that you don't want to get tangled - put the chains in a drinking straw for the trip. This keeps all chains tangle free!

Earrings

Earrings are probably the biggest headache to get organized. Is it just me or does one of a match always seem to be missing? I have seen a couple of very cute and inexpensive ideas for getting these darn things under control! Using an embroidery circle with some embroidery material (color of your choice) tightly in the circle. This is the perfect surface to poke through your earrings for display. Even hoops around the sides can be organized with this solution. Other things I have seen include egg carton with top removed or ice cube trays. While those are cheap as well, they are not quite to appealing to the eye as the first one. As for those earrings that have lost their mate, you should keep them as they are great as pins or accessories for scarves!
