A Crazy Easy Necklace Organizing Solution (that actually works!)

A Crazy Easy Necklace Organizing Solution (that actually works!) at ASlobComesClean.com

Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the best! Love this idea from one of you! 

Dana,

I tried to use this cute jewelry tree for years for all my jewelry.
Jewelry Tree from a Reader Declutter and Organize Closet at ASlobComesClean.com
My necklaces would catch on the other branches and make earrings fall off, or get tangled with each other. It was awful.
I finally just got some cheap hooks at the hardware store and screwed them into my closet wall. (No tools needed!)
Now the necklaces hang straight and don’t get tangled up, even if I hang more than one on a hook. It works for me. I use the tree now mostly just for earrings.
Jenny
I (Dana) used this idea and I love it! I bought this set of hooks in assorted sizes, and I’ve used them for all sorts of things!

    I took a piece of trim-molding and put my hooks on that. But effectively use those same hooks!

    My husband would have a conniption over putting holes in the drywall, but I have done the same thing in the past with Command hooks. Somehow, in this current phase of life I don’t find myself wearing necklaces much, but if I did, I would absolutely use this same idea again.

      Good idea. If thrift is an important part of your decision, also consider push pins. We always seem to have some in a drawer. 🙂

      I had made a necklace holder with a piece of wood, with hooks in it. It’s been my favorite.
      Then I was able to attach it to the wall with command strips.

        I have an inexpensive set of narrow shelves that’s about 5 feet tall. I use push pins on one side to hang my necklaces.

    Similar idea: Get ahold of a metal pegboard and use that. Easier to rearrange for longer/shorter necklaces, bracelets, etc. They even sell it in “fashion” colors. Here’s where I bought mine… my sweet husband installed and now a whole wall of my bathroom is pegboard and much easier to find things.

    I’m with Mel, I rent, so it’s command hooks for me! Still easy, though not quite as cheap as the screw in hooks.

    Silly question, but do you just nail those into the wall? (I am not even slightly a DIYher).

    I have totally done this, I put them all into a bit of wood and then attached to strip of wood to the front of a shelf. Then when I started to declutter my junk jewellery and I got rid of the wood strip I switched to using the decorative push into plaster with your thumb hooks. I loved it. BUT, they got dusty and I even discovered a little cobweb so I had to find a different solution. I think now I could use this method for the necklaces I wear all the time and leave the others in boxes and rotate them around occasionally.

    I bought a 2 pack of scarf hangers from the dollar store and use them. I put one small nail in the wall but you could easily use command hooks.
    I also use them the same way for hanging my tank tops.

    If it’s sheet rock you are putting it into, I would think you’d be able to use straight pins, the type you use for sewing or the decorating T-Pins are stronger. The hole would be so small that you wouldn’t see it.

    This is a great idea. The necklaces I use he most I just hang over the corner of my mirror and the rest are a huge tangled mess. I should do this as I obviously prefer to hang them anyway. The tackle box I am supposed to keep them in is too inconvenient.

    A solution I got from a friend: get a piece of foamboard, and cover it with cute fabric (optional.) Stick in a bunch of pushpins. Mount on the wall or on a picture frame stand on your dresser. The foamboard can be as large or small as you need for your necklace collection. Cheap, and non-damaging.

    I’ve done this for years, but I use straight pins. The holes are so tiny you’ll never find them again, so no need for spackle. Mine are right on the bedroom wall — the whole point of necklaces is to be pretty, so I might as well use them to decorate and enjoy them even when I’m not wearing them!

    Not jewelry related but Command Hook related – I got a larger washing machine and dryer so the place where I had tucked my various brooms, swiffers, etc disappeared. My husband who is perfectly willing to clean floors but isn’t bothered by clutter, couldn’t understand why I didn’t want them standing in the corner of my kitchen 24/7. It took me way too long to realize that they could HANG in the tiny laundry room behind closed doors but still be accessible. I’d never want to discourage him from any cleaning task! Hooks installed. Tools hung. Problem solved.

    Hi Nony!
    One thing I do to organize my necklaces is to put them on the hangers of the shirts/dresses that I will wear them with. So even getting ready in the AM is faster🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗. I LOVE your books, podcasts and your web site and emails. You REALLY do GET me😉😉😉😉😉

    What I find super useful is a sliding necktie or belt holder with several hooks. We attached it to the side of a shelving unit in our closet – so it can slide in and be hidden away, and then I just pull it out when I want a necklace. Command hooks, screws, whatever to attach it.

    I use this tie and belt holder. Necklaces on one side, bracelets on the other.

    I have a large collection. Once solution I have tried is expandable coffee mug holders; necklaces on the bottom and bracelets on the top. Another one is S hooks on a bar.

    My husband attached a foot-long, lightweight, good-looking towel rod to the wall over my dresser for me, then I hung a pretty set of matching shower curtain hooks on the rod. My necklaces hang from the decorative nob thingies (technical term) on the hooks. This arrangement lets me see all of my necklaces at once and keeps them from tangling.

    I found a black metal scrollwork heart and use that to organize (most of) my necklaces on my wall. I have my pierced earrings hanging on a plaid necktie fastened to the door. These things work, although they are both getting full, and it’s time to declutter my jewelry again!

    I did my own wall version using a pegboard and metal hooks, all bought from a hardware store,
    which is still working well for me 2 years later.

    I used command hooks crystal ball to lay necklaces on. Even have one in my bathroom for oops I forgot I had on as I am jumping in shower crustal balls. I even sent some to my mama in Texas.

    I have a LOT of jewelry that I’ve collected over the years so I stapled hardware cloth onto the back of a large white frame to hang all my earrings! I also had an extra towel rack in the bathroom that I hang all my necklaces on. I drape them on with a very loose Larkshead knot (like the first knot used in Macrame) so they don’t slip off!
