DIY Jewelry organizer from The Foley Fam


Hi there lovely Brassy Apple Readers!
I'm Kristine and I blog over at The Foley Fam {unedited}.

I over share and document our big and not so big adventures.
You’ll also find my attempts at being a "fun" mom and wifey, being "fashionable", and being Suzy Homemaker, ya know throwing in some sweets and some craftoons in the mix. As you can see I enjoy making up words too! We have a good time! When I'm not blogging, I'm busy making pretties for my Etsy store J&M's Eye Candy Shoppe.

Speaking of pretties, I'm all about accessories! Who isn't right?!
I tend to be more of a hoarder collector, but that's not important. Ha.
My bathroom drawer where I was housing ALL my pieces, just wasn't cutting it anymore.
It was seriously a modge podge of anything and everything I had.

I decided I needed to make something where my accessories could be more organized, making them more accessible, and if I could show them off in a pretty fashion that would be an extra bonus!

I've seen so many different ideas in blog-land, and thought I was sold on using chicken wire inside a frame, but when I tried it out I didn't like the look of the big holes. 

I had a remnant piece (50% off!) of "jute" fabric I had bought at Joanns on a whim, and thought I would try it out.
During our move the glass broke from a few of our picture frames, so the one shown above I had sitting around just begging to be used. The cutouts ended up being perfect for my bulkier pieces.
First step is remove your glass. 
Next, cut your piece of fabric to size, and staple it to the back of a frame. 
Instead of holding the fabric taunt, I left some slack to allow the bulkier pieces to be easily accessible within the frame cutouts.

Love how it turned out! 
And since I used items I already had, this project didn't cost me anything (extra). #lovethattoo
The simplicity of it is my style, but you can always add knobs for even more storage space and versatility and maybe some rolled flowers to spruce it up a bit if you wish. Possibilities of making it your own are endless.
How do you store your accessories? I would love to hear and see. Feel free to leave your links in the comment section or email me your pics at
jandmseyecandy@hotmail.com.
I would love it if you stopped over at my place and introduced yourself.
I'm all about meeting cool people.
And since you and I share a love of Megan's blog, we would get along splendidly I'm sure!

Thanks so much to Megan for letting me invade her space today!
