A Tackle Box Is The Storage Solution You Need For Small Jewelry
Ah, the dreaded jewelry box. Always cute and fun when you buy it, but not so much when you go to pick out your rings in the morning, only to find them tangled in 10 necklaces you don't remember owning. The fact is, small jewelry pieces like rings and earrings often get lost among larger items like necklaces and bracelets. A tackle box is an easy storage solution that will have you making the catch of the day and serving looks in no time.
Tackle boxes are versatile items that, despite the name, can be used for so much more than fishing. Reuse old tackle boxes in the garden for upgraded seed storage, store crafting beads and thread, and now, organize your small jewelry. These traditionally outdoor-relegated toolboxes are making a splash on social media as DIY luxurious alternatives to smaller, more expensive jewelry boxes sold in stores. Not only do they provide oodles of space for your jewelry, but you can also customize them for your needs.
How to customize your own jewelry tackle box
The first step to customizing your own jewelry tackle box is sorting through your current jewelry stash to declutter and organize, freeing up useful space. Sort the items by size, into gold and silver, costume and expensive, or by color. If you find older pieces you're unlikely to wear again, you can always reuse your old jewelry to breathe life into your home decor as cute accents around your home.
Next, it's time to choose your box style. Tackle boxes come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from small translucent cases to multilevel styles in various colors. Translucent boxes allow you see all of your jewelry without opening any compartments, making styling decisions quicker and easier, while solid boxes provide a level of discretion, which can help the box blend in with your closet. In addition to the outward appearance, there are also different styles for the inside. Some tackle boxes have removable walls that allow you to change the size of the compartments. Others have a large open space, inviting you to customize the inside as you wish with things like velvet ring holders and hooks for necklaces.Â
The last step is putting in your jewelry. This is the fun part, where you get to see it all come together. As you slip in your rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces, personalize the inner lid by adding stickers, a mirror, and pictures to really make it your own. Best of all, the portability of storing jewelry in a tackle box means it's always ready to travel with you.
