Although you want to have enough jewelry to elevate your OOTD (outfit of the day), having too much can clutter up your vanity and take up precious space. This is where dedicated organizers come in. Alas, the good ones can be quite expensive. But don't let that stop you from arranging your necklaces, earrings, or bracelets neatly. Just try out a few Dollar Tree DIYs to declutter and organize all your jewelry in a budget-friendly manner. Bonus advantage: you get to customize each holder to your liking and requirements. The best part, though? Each of the solutions will also force you to take a hard look at each of your possessions and declutter the ones that don't fit, look worn, are chipped, or you simply don't like anymore.

For instance, you can turn a pack of pink foam hair rollers into the perfect fluffy base for your rings. Set them in a clear drawer or within a picture frame as per your preference. Similarly, a simple pool noodle can help you craft a detachable bracelet organizer with multiple tiers. Ready to streamline your collection and declutter your jewelry? Here are 12 creative Dollar Tree DIYs to help you on your quest.

Zip tie two paper towel holders together to store your necklaces tangle-free

No matter how well you organize your necklaces, the chains will resemble a jumbled mess within a few days. Luckily, you can say goodbye to tangled necklaces with a clever storage idea: tying two Cooking Concepts Paper Towel Holders together. Place one holder as you normally would and invert the other. Connect them with four Tool Bench Hardware Nylon Cable Ties, and your jewelry organizer will be ready. In case you don't like the basic holder, give it a coat of spray paint. You can even embellish it with beads, stones, and other decorative items (like tiny crystal butterflies and flowers) for a unique finish.

DIY a jewelry holding tower with paper towel and napkin holders

In theory, having a separate organizer for each jewelry category will make it easier to find each accessory. However, this arrangement will slow you down (especially when you're running late in the mornings) and make it more challenging to keep your jewelry organized. A better option is to use Dollar Tree's stainless steel paper towel holder as your base and zip tie four Cooking Concepts Wire Napkin Holders for closed loops. Be generous with the ties, or your tower might buckle under the pressure of your accessories. Spray paint it in a color of your choosing or use a textured paint, like Krylon's Coarse Stone Texture Finish one, to lend it a little character.

Screw in a metal drawer pull over a plank sign for a hanging jewelry organizer

Want an organizer that looks high-end and declutters your vanity? Screw in a metal drawer pull over a plank sign to create a chic jewelry storage solution with Dollar Tree items. In case you don't like the art on the sign, cover it up with a peel-and-stick wallpaper. Craft paper can work in a jiffy, too. Just ensure the pull complements the base you pick, or spray paint it before installation. Also, keep a bolt cutter, like Workpro's 14-inch model, handy to cut down the screws (included with the metal drawer pull) to size since the sign is too thin and they won't fit in otherwise. If you'd like to store your earrings or bracelets as well, add Command Hooks to the sides.

Put foam hair rollers inside a clear drawer to organize your ring collection

Chucking your rings in their designated drawer might seem like a simple organizing solution, but you'll have difficulty locating the one(s) you want. So, go to your local Dollar Tree and grab a pack of foam hair rollers and an Essentials Clear Plastic Desktop Organizer Drawer. Pull the foam rollers from their constraints and cover each individual piece in some burlap or leftover fabric you have at home. Now, declutter your ring collection and snuggle in the ones you'd like to keep. However, if you don't have enough room to house a drawer or want your pretty bands on top of your dressing table, keep your rings organized with a Dollar Tree picture frame DIY.

Give your earrings a stylish place to rest with Dollar Tree picture frames

Tired of detangling your earrings from your necklaces or wearing two different designs to make a "style statement?" Get two picture frames (must be of the same size) and an Essentials Wire Storage Basket Tray from your local Dollar Tree. Take out the glass and backing from the frames and hot glue them together. To hang your earrings, cut the tray to size with a wire cutter, such as Billbotk's Small Side Cutters for Crafts, and insert it in between. You also want to slide in a paper towel holder to give your organizer a stable base. Finally, spray paint and embellish your organizer to hide its humble origins.

Fashion a clear jewelry case using Dollar Tree picture frames

In case you want to protect your jewelry from dust without sticking it in an opaque holder, DIY a clear case using Dollar Tree photo frames. You'll need three frames, sans their backing and mat, for the base. Keep the glass intact for the lowermost piece and remove it from the top two frames. Glue the three with a generous amount of hot glue. Now, get one more frame and remove its backing and mat, too. This will serve as your uppermost piece. Connect it with your base using glued-on small hinges, like Vuthlrv's 14 Set Stainless Steel Jewelry Box Hardware. Spray paint the case in a shade of your liking or decorate it with beads and stones.

Decorate a boring mesh strainer with flowers for a gorgeous earring holder

Another great way to organize your earrings is to hang them on a Cooking Concepts' Mesh Strainer with Handle. To hide its humble beginnings, gently pry off the plastic handle hiding the stainless steel one underneath. Then, give the strainer a fresh coat of paint. You can also use a stencil if you'd like to spell out a word or design over the net. Let it cure and then hang all your earrings. Be careful since you don't want to create large unsightly holes in the net. In case the holder looks too basic, cut off a small portion of white foam disk and glue it towards the handle. Poke in flowers and foliage for a beautiful arrangement.

Organize your jewelry cabinet with a Dollar Tree wire shelf

Dedicating a cabinet or shelf in your wardrobe to your jewelry might seem like a good idea until the small pieces move about and get mixed (and tangled) up. However, if you're short on space and can't house them elsewhere, turn a Dollar Tree essential into a handy closet organizer. Spray paint an Essentials White Wire Cabinet Shelves in a shade that matches your wardrobe or give it a bold new look. Alternatively, wrap each slat in contact paper if you don't mind the extra work. Whichever way you go, use Ready America's Clear Museum Gel to set it in place. Now, hang your bracelets and earrings from the wire slats. Place your dainty chains and chunky wrist ornaments under the shelf.

Create a tiered jewelry organizer using a turntable, decorative plates, and glass candle holders

Creating a tiered jewelry organizer is a great way to use Dollar Tree lazy Susan to organize clutter around your home. Besides an Essentials 10-inch Clear Acrylic Rotating Turntable, you'll need a few plates in varying sizes. The exact number will depend on the tiers you want. You can pick same-sized plates, but you'll have to add strip lighting, like Daybetter's 6-piece Dimmable LED Strip Lights, so the bottom layers are clearly visible. Additionally, get a couple of Luminessence Glass Taper Candleholders — either get the same number as the plate or one less if you don't feel like decorating the top one with a snow globe or tiny statue. Hot glue everything together and spray paint the organizer for a cohesive look. Stickers or contact papers are a good option, too.

Peg boards can come to your rescue when space is limited

When space is limited, maximizing every available square inch is paramount. But that doesn't mean you should ruthlessly cut down your jewelry collection (although you should let go of useless pieces). A smart solution is to bind a few Jot Large Square Peg Boards and mount them in your wardrobe or another location where you can spare some vertical space. Use glue if the configuration is final. Otherwise, opt for nctinystore's Micro Silver Binder Clips for a little flexibility. Spray paint it if it'll be visible or use it as is. Once you have the board you need, insert Jsp Manufacturing's Plastic J Hooks in the holes to start hanging your jewelry.

Use Dollar Tree trinket boxes to house your precious jewelry

Don't want to clump in your diamond tennis bracelet, studs, or engagement ring along with your decorative jewelry? Get a simple heart-shaped trinket box with a lid from Dollar Tree. Then, decorate it as you see fit. For instance, you can use pretty two- or three-ply napkins and a little Mod Podge to decoupage the box. You can also use air-dry clay to DIY a flower or another beautiful motif for your box. Another idea is to use peel-and-stick paper or self-adhesive tiles, like Pp Opount's Square Disco Tiles, to make the box look posh.

Mount cut pool noodles on top of a paper towel holder to keep your bracelets organized

Love bracelets but can't dedicate a drawer to them? Get a paper towel holder and 54-inch pool noodle from Dollar Tree. Cut the noodle in half and mark the midpoints. Add slits to the bottom and top for one part (make sure they align together) and just a slit to the bottom for another. Cover them with contact paper or a soft cloth and spray paint the paper towel holder in a similar shade. Push the noodles through the holder, and your detachable bracelet organizer is ready. If you plan on placing all your heavy bracelets and watches on either tier, glue a Cooking Concepts' Tin Pie Pan to the paper towel holder for added stability.
