Today I just fiddled around working on some Illustrator stuff although there are a million other things I should be doing. Think I will tidy up down here tonight to further lengthen my procrastination tendencies.
I wanted to share a great way to store a lot of jewelry. I have been collecting shutters for quite a while now because they intrigue me and always can be found at the curb. Until recently, they’ve been patiently hanging out in a corner of the garage waiting for inspiration to strike.
It struck about a month ago when I dumped a whole tray of jewelry all down the side of my dresser. I have tried several methods of storing earrings but none ever really worked well. Till now…
It’s such a simple idea. All I had to do was clean them. The painting on it is kind of shabby chic (messy) but it works fine for me. I just took all of my dangle earrings and looped them in pairs over each louver! I store mine in color order because it looks pretty. They are easy to get on or off. These shutters also have hinges on the side and theoretically you could screw this into the wall and fold it closed when you were done. But right now I use the hinges to hang my necklaces and bracelets.
Hope you find good use for the treasures that come your way!
I love your earrings and your clever way of displaying/storing them! The couple pair you made and gave to me get quite a bit of use….and I always think of you when I wear them! Can’t wait to see the new stuff you’ve been doing in Ai 🙂
I have an earring rack almost the same, but we drilled holes on the edge of the slat to accomodate post earrings as well. GOOD OL’SHUTTERS!!
