DIY jewelry organizing

Anyone else trying to get organized for the New Year?  We are at my house...well, we're making some attempts here and there.  Lately, I've seen lots of neat ideas for ways to display necessary household items.  One thing I keep coming across in the blog world is how to display jewelry.  It's kinda tricky, but it definitely can be done.  Most of my jewelry is in a cabinet, but I am lovin' these DIY ideas to proudly display necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings.  They almost are like pieces of art, and several of these ideas are nature-inspired, which makes me happy.

Happy Wednesday...here's to keeping those New Year resolutions or just making small strides. :)

Using a large picture frame (if not the color you prefer - spray paint it), 

attach a few branches and then, easily hang various necklaces.

Using several smaller frames, 

have one frame with a few wire/string attachments on the back for earrings, 

and add some hooks for necklaces and bracelets to the others.

This is an upcycled printer drawer with a few added hooks,

which allows for tons of different options.

I love this idea...
Use an old piece of wood (try barnwood maybe?) 

and attach nifty drawer knobs for necklaces.

Which one is your fav?

tree one.

Each Friday during the month of December last year, I shared a picture on the blog of different Christmas trees throughout our house.  I had 5 trees last year.  I know, I know - I have a problem.  Well, Michael asked me last night if I planned on posting 'em again this year, so I guess I will.  New tradition, maybe?  Anyway, today I'll share our guest room/office tree (the reason for that slash is in the pictures below).  It's my completely girly, pink, and gold tree.  I LOVE it.  It's just so darn pretty.  

the deets:

-Most of the ornaments are plastic, but there are a few glass ones...gotta hide 'em this year.

-I made the topper out of some wire ribbon and floral wire.  It's not the best bow, but it's going on 3 years, so it stays.

-The tree skirt is actually one of my high school prom dresses.  Mom suggested adding it last year, and I was like, "My PROM dress?  Uh, no."  Then, reality hit, and I thought where am I going to ever where a hot pink, strapless, open-back gown?  Then, reality really hit, and I thought can I even get IN it?  So, it is now an upcycled, tree skirt, and it works perfectly...especially with the tulle underneath, because it just naturally poofs.

-Do NOT analyze the backside...refer to this post for further explanation:
