$6 Jewelry Organizer {Reusable Shopping Bag - Part 6}

JEWELRY ORGANIZER



I was at Homegoods, and FELL IN LOVE with these bags!!! They were $2.99 each, and smaller than the $.99 bags, but the colors were SO LOVELY, that I couldn't pass them up. Like I say... they are smaller, and thicker, so I knew they would be perfect for holding large amounts of jewelry for an extended amount of time.

Do you remember what I was doing before? You can read about it HERE. If you don't want to read about it, here is a photo. My son is jealous!

On to the tutorial...
Cut the sides and straps off your background bag, leaving the finished edges intact.

Do the same to the bag you will use for the pockets.

You will also be using the bottom, so cut it where the folded part meets the side, then cut on the fold.

Cut strips out of the bag you are using for pockets (I only used the tops - finished edges), and place them where you want on the organizer. I could have made more pockets, but I liked the background too much, and didn't want to cover it up.


I used the bottom of the bag for the pockets on the other side. I like using the fold that is already there. Notice how I left the finished edge on the sides?



Cut the straps in pieces, and pin them in place on the bottom of the bag. I thought about putting a button on these, so they could open, but that is too much work ;)

I did 3 loops on one side, and 4 on the other.

Sew all your straps in place. I know I could have made this look better, but no one is going to see it (besides you), and I know you won't judge ;)

Then, sew each pocket on at the sides.

Sew across the bottom of each pocket. Sew vertical lines where you want the pocket separation to be. I didn't put many separating lines in. You might want more.




The picture doesn't show it very well, but you need to sew a straight line across the top, leaving a gap that will fit the head of a hanger.

It will look like this from the top.


Sew the bottom where the fold is, so it won't flap out when you hang your jewelry on it.

The sides will be left open, so you can slide a hanger in, and through the top. I started with a regular sized hanger, but went to a child's hanger, so the sides of the hanger didn't hang out the sides of the organizer.

All finished. What do you think?

Easy Peasy Jewelry Organizing!

I have this girlfriend who is super organized, and my jewelry would give her stress every time she saw it. She has been telling me for months, that she is going to find an inexpensive solution for organizing it. And... she did!!!

She was at DI the other day, and got this (a hot wheels car organizer) for $2!
She says instead of, "hot wheels," it should say, "hot mama." Ha Ha!!!
My son is jealous!

Thanks Donnalynn! Love you girlie :)

None of my jewelry is expensive, but I am a bead-a-holic, and make too many bracelets!

I found this organizer last week for $3!

Time for even more organizing!

Price tag to prove it!

Watch out... this watch is super CUTE, INEXPENSIVE and EASY !!!

So, yesterday I was getting ready, and wishing I had a watch to match my outfit. I looked at my beaded watch band, and didn't feel like wearing it. So, I decided to make this. Besides the watch face, I don't even think it cost a whole dollar to make!

I have a few more of these in the works, and will post them as soon as I get them made. So, go to your fabric and ribbon scraps, and see what you have... the possibilities are endless!

(You could put a button or jewel over the stitching, but I didn't.)


Supply list:

1) Fabric (Use something that your watch will have a hard time sliding on.)
2)Liner fabric (If necessary - I used felt to go under the burlap.)
3) Ribbon
4) Snaps
5) Needle and tread
6) Interchangable watch face

Directions:

1) Cut watch band base (and liner) to the desired length and width. I wanted mine to overlap on the bottom.
2) Cut ribbon to desired length. Leave enough to be able to fold it under at the ends.
3)Measure where you want your snaps to go, so it fits snugly over the band base.
4) Sew on snaps. Make sure they are not too thick, so your watch band will slide over them.
5) Sew on snaps, slide on watch face, and put on your wrist!

Super easy, super fast, super cute!!!

I am working on a few more, one combination is gray felt with cream lace. I will post pics when I have finished.

If you don't want to sew, and have someone to help you put your watch on, you could always leave the ribbon extra long, and have someone tie it for you at the bottom. It is just too cute!
