DIY Earring Organizer in Five Minutes!

by Jennifer

After my post on Tuesday about all the dirty-ish projects happening around our new house, I promised you something pretty.  And here it is. A DIY earring organizer you can make in about five minutes and requires no special DIY skills. So if you’re a DIY beginner, this is a perfect easy starter project.

Make this DIY earring organizer in five minutes with just three things! It's an easy and inexpensive way to organize jewelry, No fancy DIY skills required!

My closet is one of the only spaces in our new house that is pretty much completely unpacked and organized.  I’ve been wanting to make a DIY earring organizer for awhile and with a whole new closet to set up, I finally went for it. Mere minutes later I was DONE and wondered why I ever waited on this project because it seriously took about five minutes to make. It’s pretty, it’s functional, it’s inexpensive to make, and takes minutes. Even if you’re not much of a DIYer…you should do this for yourself, it almost couldn’t be simpler. Here are the steps.

You’ll need only three supplies to make this DIY earring organizer:

  1. White picture frame
  2. Cloverleaf aluminum sheet
  3. Heavy-duty scissors

To get the metal sheeting to fit perfectly into my frame, I removed the glass from the frame, laid it on top of the aluminum sheet, and traced around the outside.  Then I used my heavy duty scissors to cut the sheeting to size.

Then I reassembled my frame, discarding the glass and replacing it with the aluminum sheet. Before putting the back on the frame, I flipped the paper insert that came with it backwards so the white side was against the metal sheet for a solid background. And just that fast, my DIY earring organizer was finished!

It’s so convenient having all of my earrings organized like this – no more pawing through a jewelry box looking for a particular pair or a match to one I’ve found.

I hung my DIY earring organizer in my closet and decided to use the area adjacent to it for my other jewelry. I hung robe hooks along the back wall for necklaces and used some faux leather trays for earrings that don’t have hook backs and for my bracelets. I found these trays at Home Goods but you can find a nice collection online here and here.

      Of course – that quatrefoil sheeting had me instantly with it’s shiny goldness :)

    Despite the fact that I’m fairly fashion-impaired, I do have a lot of statement earrings so I LOVE this. I’m sure I’d wear them more if they were displayed like this, too. Aw yeah, it’s about to get organized up in here!!

      I don’t believe you, you always look flawless. And you are right, having them staring me in the face every morning definitely inspires me to wear them more. Except today. I’m not sure I even brushed my teeth this morning. #sickday

      Yes! It practically jumped off the shelf into my cart. Or maybe I just grabbed it really fast :)

    So I have this big ugly electrical box in my closet…right where I’d like to create jewelry storage. And do you know that I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out how use a picture frame to cover the box and create earring storage?!?! I kept getting stuck on gluing skinny dowels to hang them from, but couldn’t figure out how to get the dowels on the frame. And now here you are with genius idea and perfect for my problem! Thank you! Is it really easy to get your earrings in and out of that sheeting?

    • Jennifer@TheChroniclesofHome says

      Awesome! Love that you can solve the problem so easily. When I first put the earrings in I thought it might be a little tricky but I found if I slide the wire part in and out sort of sideways they slip in and out really easily!

    Such a cute idea! I really need to figure out what to do with my necklaces – they were a nest and all coiled up the other day…

      If I manage to kick the flu this week, I’ll be taking photos of what I did with necklaces right next to the earring organizer! Either way…soon :)

    Do you mind sharing where you found that cute sheet metal in Home Depot? I must’ve asked 6 different people, but no luck. Thanks so much!

    • Jennifer@TheChroniclesofHome says

      at

      It was at the end of an aisle…and I’m afraid I don’t remember which one. The sheets are typically used as radiator covers, though – hopefully that would help someone locate it for you!
