From Thread Rack To Jewelry Organizer

Jill Nystul  ·  December 13, 2013

Well, here we are…on the other side of the 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways! I don’t know whether to laugh or cry! :-)  I had so much fun offering these great giveaways everyday…I’m going to miss it! On the other hand, it will be nice to get “back to normal,” at least for a little while. (I can’t do “normal” on a full-time basis!) I really truly hope you all enjoyed the last 12 days as much as I did!

So while today I don’t have a fabulous giveaway to offer you, I DO have an idea that hopefully will make everyone feel a little bit like a winner once they try it!

Back in September of 2012, I came up with a way to organize my jewelry that I have been super happy with….up until very recently that is. It seems my growing collection of baubles is OUT-growing my framed chicken wire solution. I’ve had to resort to stacking bracelets on top of bracelets and multiple necklaces on top of each other which makes it challenging to see what you even have to choose from.

I hadn’t really been giving the situation much thought however, I just continued to juggle and untangle whenever necessary. But as I walked down the sewing notions aisle in Walmart a few weeks ago this interesting contraption caught my eye and immediately that lightbulb you see in comic books went on above my head!

At first I had no idea what it was, but it turns out what I was seeing was a thread organizer rack. I guess there are people who have more than 4 spools of thread in their sewing supplies. But what *I* saw instead was the ultimate jewelry organizer that would be super simple to “install.” So I bought one! (I believe I paid $9.99 for mine at Walmart.)

Since I still really like the look (and functionality) of my framed jewelry organizer in my bedroom, I decided to keep it on the wall, and put this one on the inside of my closet door. Using two 3M Command picture frame hangers I simply attached the thread rack to the inside door (in the closed position) and then started adding my necklaces, bracelets, and rings.

I left all my hanging earrings and LONGER necklaces in the frame on the wall. However, I’m considering getting a second thread rack to hang directly underneath this one and just transfer EVERYTHING to the inside of my closet. Still thinking on that one.

Reuse: empty chocolate boxes – the hoops and studs go in the separate sections, or you can push the studs into the plastic (raised) sections and put the hoops/hooks in the chocolate areas. You can find a variety of boxes to separate your gold & silver, and can have multiple levels that are easy to get at by hot-glueing a ribbon on each side of the upper level and glueing the separator to the bottom of that level. You also get the scent of chocolate year round(?).

I wish I had pics to share but first to answer your question on how to store earrings with studs…I get window screen & put it where the glass goes in a picture frame & hot glue on the inside edges…insert the post thru the screen & fasten. For my vast collection of glittery goodies, I had a piece of leftover lattice that I staggered small nails into then painted to match my room…this is where all my necklaces go. For my earrings, I take old metal refrigerator racks (yes, Racks, plural, I’m a chandelier earring lover) paint them a… Read more »

I use something like this. I have often thought about fancying it up with fabric or paper modpodged onto the sides.

I use the clear egg carton that organic eggs come in to store my earrings. They stack and you can see exactly what you have. I use two drawers (I am an earring fanatic) and have several egg cartons in each. One drawer for silver and the other gold.

Jillee…….For your post earrings, a simple solution would be to tie some pretty ribbons along the bottom edge of your chicken wire or thread rack, and let them hang down! This could also be used for pins/brooches and hairclips! Good luck! Blessings….

I use clear plastic fishing lure cases. I like them because the dividers can be rearranged to make some compartments bigger. They also will not get mixed all up if the box gets turned upside down. I have a few of these boxes for my favorite pins too.
I have a 150 spool thread holder, it is filled with the top 150 colors of embroidery thread.

I put my stud earrings in the bottom section of a clean, clear egg carton that sits on a shelf in my closet. Not fancy, but it’s cheap and it works!
