Turn A Dollar Tree Bottle Into A Gorgeous Jewelry Organizer
If you've ever wasted time untangling necklaces, digging in a box for a missing earring, or trying to find a favorite ring that has slipped out of sight, you already know how frustrating a disorganized jewelry collection can be. Tiny adornments are notorious for disappearing into drawers or getting lost at the bottom of a bag. While there's no shortage of jewelry organizers for sale, good-quality products are pricey. That's where this Dollar Tree hack comes in. With just a couple of products costing well under $10, you can create your own countertop jewelry stand.
The beauty of this project is how simple it is. You don't need fancy tools or a lot of time to pull this off, either. Head to Dollar Tree and pick up a Decorative Glass Bottle With Stopper and a handful of Crafters Square Wooden Dowels. The clear jar doubles as home décor and gives your dresser, vanity, or nightstand a polished look without splurging. The wooden dowels declutter and organize your jewelry to free up useful space. They're the perfect perch for rings, bangles, or even hoop earrings. Not only is this hack budget-friendly, but it's also customizable. Make it match your style and space with easy changes.
Create a jewelry organizer with wooden dowels and a glass jar
Remove the stopper from the decorative glass bottle and slide the wooden dowels into the opening. The dowels should splay out in all directions. Depending on the jar size, four to six dowels should give you the right look and plenty of room to hang jewelry. Once the dowels are in place, slip your jewelry onto them. Rings and hoop earrings should fit snugly around the dowels, while bracelets and bangles will fall right down to the mouth of the bottle and hang off the side. Because the dowels fan out, you can see each piece of jewelry. This makes it much easier to quickly grab the pieces you want to wear that day. You'll also notice if you've lost something or if it's time to clean your silver jewelry.
To customize this DIY, use any small-mouthed glass jar or bottle in a color and shape that appeals to you. The Dollar Tree glassware section is full of options — think apothecary-style jars and bud-vase bottles. Tie a scarf, ribbon, or piece of jewelry around the neck of the bottle for extra flair. If you don't want to use a jar at all, get the same effect by binding the dowels together to create a tepee-like display. If you're handy with carpentry tools, skip the store and DIY your own wood dowels for this project. Stain or paint them to match your furniture or wrap them in twine or ribbon for a softer look. Create multiple jewelry stations for each type of jewelry or use the holder for scrunchies and hair ties.
