Earring Hanger

Hello All!

It's been a few weeks and I've missed my blogging!

But I am back now with new post about jewelry organization!

You might remember a while back when I made the Jewelry Board. It was a great addition to my closet! So much so, that I couldn't help but purchase more and more jewelry to fill it up!

This is what my Jewelry Board looked like last week.


Lots and lots of necklaces bunched up together. And my earrings hanging along the bottom.

Here is a second pile of jewelry over on my vanity. I found that I kept throwing my earrings on the vanity instead of hanging them on the jewelry board because it was just too difficult the way I set it up.

So, I had more jewelry and needed more room and my earrings were not easily accessible, this was a problem. I needed a solution that would be functional and also fit in my closet near my other jewelry.

I decided to make an earring holder that could hang from a clothes hanger! That way it could hang with my sweaters and tops and be right there for me choose the earrings of my choice each morning!

I set off to walmart to get some fabric.


I found these little pre-cut squares for only a $1, PERFECT!
Make sure you choose a thin fabric that your earrings can easily poke through.
I also picked up some pink ribbon because that's just how I roll.

So first I laid out the fabric and measured a hanger, I had to cut about an inch off.

Then I used the ribbon to make a pretty boarder around the fabric.
I ran out of ribbon with one length left to go, cause also that's just how I roll.


After the ribbon was done, I folded the top of the fabric over the bottom of the hanger and used my trusty hot glue gun to secure.

Pretty easy, hey?
After I was finished, I hung the hanger in the closet and started to arrange my earrings, by color of course!



Don't my earrings look pretty in their new home! You know what my first thought was? I need more earrings to fill it up!

But the extra space on my jewelry board gave me the opportunity to reorganize the necklaces and bracelets!
Everything is so much easier to use and find now!



Total Success!!!
