oh boy, it is nooooo fun to untangle necklaces. especially very fine chain that seems to just tie itself in knots as soon as you turn your back.
there are many ways to store necklaces
so first off you need to make some decisions:
do you want your necklaces stored horizontally or vertically?
do you want your necklaces on display or kept in a closet?
if you choose horizontally, you can store your necklaces in cutlery divided containers
do an internet search for cutlery trays or visit Bed Bath & Beyond, The Container Store or the home goods dept of Target
here's an example of one
bamboo cutlery tray
if you want to hang your necklace there are many choices
this is soo much fun, there are endless okay maybe not endless but surely ALOT of choices
do you want them displayed on a wall?
several involve picture frames
you can:
attach heavy duty fiberglass window screening onto a picture frame, insert wire hanger to drape necklaces over
same type of organizer but use hardware cloth stapled to the back of the picture frame
if you have earrings that match a necklace you can hang them beside the necklace
i love my ryobi 18Volt stapler to mount screening to picture frames. can a girl have tooo many tools?!
a wooden board with cupboard knobs screwed into it works to hang necklaces on. you could match the knob style to your decorating style...you could use a wooden shelf and screw the knobs into the board below the shelf. hang a mirror above or set a mirror on the shelf
wooden shelf with peg hooks
a towel rod mounted directly onto a wall or mounted on a board by which it can hang works by using shower curtain hooks looped over the rod. the necklaces hang from the shower curtain hooks. you could sort by color... keep those fine chains hanging away from other necklaces though....
screw cup hooks into a wooden coat hanger along the underside
mount a wire closet organizer and hang shower curtain hooks from it
spray paint pegboard and then attach pegboard hooks, insert in large picture frame or hang on wall
spray paint an old hard sided suitcase or an old briefcase and stand it upright, mount cup hooks inside along the top.
Oh dropped by to edit this and add another idea.... mount a section of molding to the wall and hammer in small nails or screw in cup hooks...fancy crown molding or a simple style which is a better fit for your style?
well i've given you some asssorted ideas, have fun thinking up your own or using one of these ideas to gain control of necklace storage
many of these ideas will work just as well for bracelets and some will work for earrings
