Earring Organization

kenzie · Chanel

I keep all of my earrings separate in little plastic ziplock bags (it also keeps them from tarnishing). Then I put them in a jewelry box or drawer. I need to get a better system for putting them away (once I've put them in the bags) b/c I have so many that they are starting to spill out of my current boxes.

i have an old picture frame that i put mesh wire behind and staple gunned onto the frame. then i hang all of my earrings on it. it's like a little bit of earring art!

Bex!

Great idea!
I think I might need more than one frame... or a really big one.

Yeah, I do like Bex. I have a mesh box lid that came with some Estee Lauder make up purchase or something (can't remember anymore - it was a xmas gift years ago) and I stand it up, length-wise on my dresser and hang all my earrings on that. At least the long dangly ones that get all tangled up otherwise.

I have something like Bex, but it's in the shape of a butterfly. My aunt gave it to me last Christmas & it truly is one of the best (in terms of practical & functional) gifts I've rec'd in a long time. Just find a frame you like & grab some window screening & go to town.

How do you girls organize your long dangly earrings and hoops. Mine are in nasty piles on my dresser. I was trying to think of a way to string a silver wire (decoratively) on my wall and hang them from there. Any suggestions?

I had this problem a while ago and now have a great system. I buy these plastic boxes from a craft store that have tons of little compartments (they are for storing beads, i think)

I put each pair of earrings in its own compartment. it keeps them very organized and easy to see. i have a couple of different sizes and i group them by different size earrings. i have about 60 pairs of earrings stored this way and they are all so nice and organized it makes me happy.
