Unorganized jewelry can cost you money in terms of broken or missing pieces. You might not be able to fix twisted or tangled chains and end up ruining a favorite bracelet or necklace. Organize your jewelery in enclosed and hidden containers for an out-of-sight solution to stray pieces of jewelry on top of your dresser. Your jewelry will last longer, and you will be able to keep coordinating pieces of jewelry together.

Spray paint a cardboard egg carton and allow to dry completely.

2

Insert the egg carton carefully into your drawer. Leave the top and bottom attached.

3

Use the egg sections to store earrings, bracelets, rings and necklaces. Use the upside down top side to store bigger pieces that will not tangle.

Tips & Warnings

Use pretty, vintage teacups and saucers, matching or not, picked up from thrift stores or yard sales. Store these in a drawer, out of sight. Keep jewelry out of sight in these.

Store jewelry in the "cupcakes" of a tin for another option. Spray paint the tin if desired.

Buy mini baggies that zip close in various sizes at craft stores to keep matching jewelry sets together. If you need to travel, you can grab a baggie without having to dig for your matching jewelry. Punch holes at the top of each baggie, insert on a large key ring and store in a hidden spot in a closet or drawer. The baggies will also keep jewelry from scratching each other.

You can use foam egg cartons but the paint will not hold quite as well.
