Cheap, DIY Jewelry organizer

I have an issue with taking my jewelry off in random places and losing it! I will take earrings off by my nightstand, bracelets off in the bathroom before I take a shower, etc. So after seeing several different versions online, I decided to make a jewelry organizer to keep on my dresser.

This is the end result- It is largely empty still because most of my jewelry was stolen! I decided to hang my most used necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings on it. I've seen some that were just earrings though.

                                                               To make this, I used:

                                                   
                                        *Foam board

                                     *Decorative tape- I used a decorative clear tape, but you can use the printed duct tapes as well.

                                      *Tacks

 I used the tacks to make holes for the studs and to hang the hook style earrings as well as the necklaces and bracelets.

To hold all of the earring backs, I just used one of my Juicy boxes- You can make a little earring back holder on the actual foam board, but I just found this way to be easier :)

My Cheap DIY Vanity Makeover!

This is how my vanity has looked for quite a while now! (Hides face in embarrassment) It had gotten to the point that I couldn't efficiently do my makeup in the mornings because I couldn't find anything!

So after looking around at different blogs and Pinterest, I found a cool cheap DIY way to organize everything!

                                                                           I got:
                                              *2 small containers from Michaels for $1 each

                                                  *A paper tray from Target's dollar section

                                                    *Some little glass beads from Michaels

                                                         *And some printed duct tape!

  And then I just wrapped the containers with the duct tape print that I wanted them to be! I know Hello Kitty and houndstooth don't really go together that well, but who doesn't love a little Hello Kitty in the mix???

                                                      And this was how it looked after!

                           All of my most often used items I put in the tray and lids of the containers

       And my favorite brushes I store in the containers and use the glass beads to keep them standing up

                                     And then all of my favorite palettes are just stacked in the corner!

I'm currently working on organizing the rest of my makeup and beauty items and will do a post on that when I am finished!
