It's time to get organized, and this industrial DIY is the way to do it. Our friends at 31 Bits have shared their creative hack to sorting jewelry in a unique way. Special thanks go out to The Shift Creative for styling and Kayla Adams for photography.

The goods:

  • A piece of wood (we used plywood and stained it in a Walnut finish, but any ol' piece will do!)
  • Chicken wire
  • Screws
  • Screwdriver
  • 2 hook screws
  • A piece of rope
  • 2 1' floor flanges
  • 2 1' end caps
  • 2 1' x 8′ metal pipe (nipple)
  • 2 1′ elbow
  • 4 1/2' floor flanges
  • 4 1/2' end caps
  • 4 1/2' x 4' metal pipe (nipple)

Step 1

Cut and place chicken wire on your wood slab. With a screwdriver screw one screw into each corner to secure the wire — this is where you will hang your earrings!

Step 2

Taking the 1' floor flange (the flat piece), screw together the elbow piece, then the 1' metal pipe, and top it off with the 1' end cap! Easy right?! Repeat these steps one more time!

Step 3

Align both pieces so that the end caps are facing each other, and stagger them so one is slightly higher than the other. Taking your screws, adhere it to the wood in the allotted holes.

Step 4

Next, take the screw hooks, and twist them into the wood under the metal pipes.

Step 5

Tie a slipknot to adhere the rope to both sides of the hooks — we hung bracelets on ours, but you can also use them for rings!

Step 6

Now, take the 1/2' floor flange and screw in the 1/2 metal pipe, and top it with the 1/2' metal cap. Repeat three times!

Step 7

Screw the four pieces into the wood in a nice row.
(optional* You can hang your holder with a piece of rope stapled to the backside, or you can get picture hooks to hang from the back for a cleaner look.)

Step 8

Now start hanging your accessories!
