- Use jewelry trees to display your jewelry. These holders are shaped liked trees with a number of branches in various sizes. Hang your necklaces on the top branches to avoid having the ends of each necklace drag on the counter or table. Put items that are relatively short, such as bracelets and rings, onto the lower branches. If you own a lot of trinkets, buy several trees and use each to hang a different type of jewelry. Having a separate tree for items such as bracelets, necklaces and rings will help you stay organized.
You can also hang your jewelry collection on the wall. Attach either a row of adhesive plastic hooks to the wall or put several nails in. You may wish to create an artistic arrangement using the hooks or nails in the shape of a heart or one of your initials, for example. Paint your newly created jewelry hanging mechanism to make sure that it matches or stands out from the other elements in the room. Keep in mind that you will need to use a coat of plastic primer first before applying paint to the hooks. You can further embellish the hooks with stickers and the nails with rhinestones. Attach a rhinestone to the end of each nail with the help of a hot glue gun.
In addition to necklaces and bracelets, you can use this wall system to display hook earrings and clip-on earrings. To hang clip-ons, fasten each earring to a loop of string and hang the loop on one of the hooks or nails. Place matching earrings next to each other on the string so that pairs can be easily located. Use clear fishing wire to create the illusion that the earrings are floating. Opt for a piece of colored yarn if you want to create a funky look. For additional convenience, attach hooks or nails to the side of furniture pieces that you use when putting together and accessorizing your look, such as a vanity table or freestanding closet. - If you are working with limited space, use a storage container that serves additional purposes. For instance, invest in a freestanding mirror whose front panel slides sideways or opens to reveal a jewelry cabinet. Other examples include hanging your pieces in a wall jewelry armoire, whose top surface can be used for displaying items such as knickknacks and small perfume bottles.
