If you love jewelry but you're looking for a new way to keep some of it organized, we found a great idea that is affordable and fun. Whether you already have a tiered cake tray or need to start looking for one, this kitchen cutie is perfect for organizing jewelry, no matter how many tiers it has. The bonus of this jewelry organizer is that you can find tiered cake trays at dollar stores, thrift stores, and online, like this Yuanan three-tier cupcake stand serving tray for under $20. It's time to ditch the clunky jewelry box and save some space in your home.

While you won't be the first person to use this clever hack, we love that YouTubers, Instagramers, and others are finding new uses for all sorts of things that can be thrifted or bought new at affordable prices. You can find tiered trays most often in two- or three-tiered options. This is one of the best jewelry organizers for your space if you want something space-saving: It holds more while taking up less counter or dresser space. The hardest part will be deciding what to put on each tier.

The first thing to consider is which room you'll need your jewelry organizers in. This could be the bedroom, bathroom, or elsewhere. In fact, you may want more than one around the house. One in the bathroom gives you a safe place to store your everyday jewelry when you hop in the tub or shower. Plus, they're handy for all types of accessories, not just jewelry, such as your watches and reading glasses.

Picking which item goes on which tier is purely personal, but we suggest saving the bottom tier for larger items or those you have more of. This is a great space for watches and bangle bracelets. The middle tier in a three-tier tray can host many of the same items, but avoid mixing different types of jewelry and accessories — think organizing, not adding clutter. The top spot is ideal for your ring collection or other smaller items that won't overflow the smaller tray. This will help you declutter and organize jewelry to free up space in areas you might otherwise use to store other items, like drawers.
