tim minear: i’m going to say no and then pretend it was all my idea when i decide to do it 5 months later.

Some people asked on my TikTok & Instagram how I store my jewelry because I have quite a lot I’ve managed to collect. I’m also someone who needs to keep things where I can see them or else I forget I have them. I posted this on my TikTok but this is the answer:

1. Old air plant frame for clip on earrings

2. Multiple of these 80s “earring books” for regular earrings (and rings)

3. A display I made by nailing fabric to a picture frame for larger brooches (you could also do this with chicken wire instead of fabric)

4. A hair clip organizer I’ve had since I was a little girl for smaller, lighter pins and brooches

5. Thrifted tie organizer for necklaces (tie organizers are very easy to thrift). You can also see that I keep most of my hats and gloves on my wall in this photo

6. Large statement necklaces that take up a lot of space get hung directly on the wall

7. A thimble display shelf for cufflinks, collar tips, and oddly shaped earrings & rings that would be difficult to store otherwise. Someday I’ll hang this on the wall but for now it’s just sitting on a shelf

8. An old purse strap for bangles
