Jewelry Solution

Jewelry Solution

I have a nice-sized, stand-up jewelry box. It has several small drawers in which I like to sort my jewelry by color/tone. Brown, blacks, blues, etc But the new trendy long necklaces has proved to create a storage problem. 



As you can see in the picture, there are a few tiny hooks for necklaces along the insides of the doors. However, I have more than six necklaces.  If I hang them on the inside door hooks, most are much too long and get stuck when I shut the door. If I loop them over the hooks more than once, they become a tangled mess. If I simply drop them into one of the drawers, same issue occurs.

 So this sent me on a Pinterest  search for ideas.   I  honed in on a clever idea and set out to Bed Bath and Beyond to find what I needed to make this project happen.  Turns out, it was hard to find everything I needed to make it just like the Pinterest idea.  No fear, I continued searching the store. Luckily, in the organization department at BB&B, I found a simple little device that I believe will be the answer to my necklace storage problem. It was all in one piece and cheaper than the Pinterest idea anyway.    It is actually a men's tie rack that will simply hang on the wall, It is comprised of  several little posts placed close together so many necklaces can dangle from it nicely.

  3. Perfect! I had the same problem as you...and my jewelry box looks quite similar. I used decorative tacks on a bare wall and that helped...but I like your idea much better. Thanks for sharing! Jackie http://familytrove.blogspot.com/

  4. Congratulations on solving your problem. When is a tie rack not a tie rack?

  6. Great idea! My husband has one of those in his closet. Why did I never think to get one for myself?

  7. I have been looking for a tie rack for my necklaces but couldn't find one. Now I will check out BB & B to see if they have one. I ran out of room on the current rack I have, but when I went to buy another, they were no longer available. Thanks for the idea.
