After I published the jewelry organizing challenge earlier this week, my mother said she needed help organizing her jewelry. I was glad to help, LOL! She uses multiple jewelry organizing tips already, but it had been awhile since she had gone through her jewelry for: discards/donations; repair; and clean/store correctly.
After completing the exercise of going through her jewelry and making three piles, then taking care of those three piles, we now know what she needs to finish this task: more jewelry organizers! She has removed all the jewelry she wants to, for her donation pile. Her donation pile is to be used for future crafts. More on those crafts in a later post. She has a very small pile of jewelry that needs to be repaired. The remaining jewelry was organized by style, as I had suggested in my early jewelry organizing challenge.
The longest necklaces that were hanging on hooks on her bureau-top jewelry organizer, were too long for that organizer. She doesn’t want to add more cup hooks to her bathroom wall to accommodate all these long necklaces and so she knows that she needs to purchase a wall shelf made for organizing jewelry. Fortunately, we found some of these jewelry shelves on Amazon and I shared them in my earlier jewelry organizing challenge post.

Mixed in among her jewelry were a lot of buttons that come with new clothing. Those will be going in the sewing box. Batteries can go in the battery carry case. We also found three soft cloths used for wiping eyeglasses. Those will be stored with the eyeglasses! A cute pencil is now with office items in an organizer on the desk, as well as all the paper clips and thumbtacks that were with her jewelry. And the cute little bobble-head snails that were lined up on the top of the jewelry case have been moved elsewhere. My mom found that it wasn’t convenient to have to remove five cute little knickknacks to get into the jewelry case.
