DIY Stylish Jewelry Organization With An Old CD & An Egg Carton

Jewelry is one of life's little luxuries and something most people own in one form or another. It comes in all shapes and sizes, and as such, can be tricky to store. Necklaces, rings, bracelets, and broaches all need a spot to call their own to keep dressers and vanity tables uncluttered. While a jewel box is the ideal solution, it's nice to have an easily accessible place to take off daily-wear items and safely store them until they're needed again. Fortunately, if you don't have such a container available, you can make one just by cutting up an empty egg carton, and gluing the individual cups to an old CD.

Being thrifty has become something of a trend in home organization. You save money and reduce your carbon footprint simultaneously. This stylish DIY calls on upcycling a blast from the past and a common kitchen staple to easily store and organize your jewelry. It's amazing what you can do with an old CD, an egg carton, and some old-fashioned ingenuity. Check how to make your own tabletop treasure storage solution with items from around the house.

Crafting your jewel organizer

The easiest way to make your home more eco-friendly is to reuse what you have before buying new. All you need to get started on this frugal-friendly DIY is one egg carton, a pair of scissors, an old CD, a hot glue gun, acrylic paint, a paintbrush, and accessories of your choosing. YouTuber, Miss Debbie DIY, added small rosebuds to hers. You can pick up a 35-pack of Crafter's Square paper flowers at Dollar Tree for $1.25. Add extra glitz and glamour with glitter, like the extra fine silver dust for $3.99 at Michaels. Now that all the supplies are accounted for, let the jewelry organizing begin.

This project is quick, easy, and family-friendly. Just be careful with the hot glue gun portion of the craft. Cut your egg carton into individual cups, cleaning up the top of each so it creates a little bowl. Use hot glue to secure six around the outside ring of the compact disc and one in the center. Thoroughly coat the cardboard with a paint color of your choice, and glue down all your razzle dazzle embellishments. Once dry, add earrings, anklets, cufflinks, and more to the cups. Who knew egg cartons would be the best jewelry organizers for your space? Enjoy all your favorite treasures with a spot of their own and easily found for under $5 with this creative upcycle.
