When I was creating my previous post about my Wishlist for Christmas, I found the drawer jewelry organizer and fell in love. I told my mom about it and she told me that she had these little wooden boxes that I could use to make one if I wanted. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! So first I decided to paint them and I even used a little glitter glue around the outside edge of each one.
Then I added my hooks! I did 3 per box along the bottom and one on either side of the finish line up. At first I wanted to do one in each square, but I realized I didn't have enough. (that's due to lack of preparation on my part, I should have gotten a count before I went shopping) So I had to make due with my chrome duct tape. I made little strips and superglued them into the squares so I could hang more earrings up. I also used the duct tape to cover some of the hooks. I know this seems kind of bass ackwards, but another tip I learned the hard way, take inventory of your earrings before doing this. Basically, I underestimated how many studs earrings I owned versus the ones with the hooks.
I also decided to use the empty container left over from the pack of hooks I bought and filled it with the backs to my earrings. That way I don't have to fidget with taking them off the earring inside those tiny squares. and it already was hang-able. Also another quick tip, try pre-drilling a little when putting those hooks in, it helps wonders lol. I'm super happy about how it turned out I hope you guys try this yourself too! It's so much easier now that all of my jewelry is out and on display. It makes getting ready in the morning much quicker.
