Project 9: Jewelry/Accessory Organizer

(Excuse my hula hoop; space is tight in a dormitory.)

Materials:

• 1/2 inch wire mesh
• Molding hooks
• Open S hooks

I really, really needed this. If you saw the sad state of my jewelry collection before this, you would understand. Having all my accessories out in the open forces me to keep them neat, and it's helpful to be able to look at everything I own at once when accessorizing an outfit.

This is so easy: just purchase some mesh at the hardware store (watch out, the edges can be sharp), hang it on the wall, and hang all your stuff on it. Necklaces and bracelets are hung by open S hooks, but you can hang earrings and pins by simply sticking them through.

The most difficult part of this project was probably untangling all of my necklaces, if you don't include losing a few small bits of metal clippings in my carpet and potentially getting one stuck in my foot later. (Eeek, I should vacuum.)
