Turn Broken Stone Pavers Into Stylish Jewelry Storage With A Clever Upcycle

If you've been looking for ways to store and display your jewelry, you might have come across plenty of store-bought options, including standing organizers and flat dishes. However, if you're keen to reduce your consumption or want something more unique, there is actually a clever way to upcycle an item that may otherwise go to waste into a beautiful jewelry storage solution. This project involves sourcing a couple of pieces of old, broken stone pavers and arranging them upright on a surface, allowing you to drape your jewelry over them.

At its simplest, this project requires no additional materials apart from a paver cleaner or some soap and water to remove dust and grime from the pavers. This means that it is perfect for a variety of DIYers, even those with less experience. In addition, this eco-friendly hack is super customizable. You can leave the broken pavers as they are, creating a rough-and-ready look perfect for an industrial-inspired home. Alternatively, you can use some paint to give them a new feel that suits your preferred design style while still benefitting from the organic feel of the paver's natural texture and rough edges. 

Before beginning this DIY, it may be helpful to think about which pieces you want to store and display on your stone paver holder. This holder works best when the items are well spaced, as there is only one level, so too many necklaces and bracelets layered over one another could become tangled and confused. Try picking out the pieces you wear most often or pieces that compliment your room's existing decor. Now, let's learn how you can turn a simple stove paver into a jewelry holder.

To create your own chic jewelry storage solution, you first need to find pieces of stone pavers. Try checking your own yard, asking friends and neighbors, or even speaking to local construction companies about leftovers they may have. Make sure to look for pieces that have one flat side so that they can stand up on a vanity or side table, and keep an eye out for ones with varied heights to create a dynamic display. Remember to give the pavers a good cleaning when you get them home to keep your surfaces dirt free.

Then, as shown by content creator @organichomeaesthetics on TikTok, these pavers can be left plain with necklaces draped over them to create a stylish display and storage solution. However, you can also personalize this project if you are not a fan of the gray, industrial look of the bare stone. To do this, start by painting the pavers with a primer. Then, choose a paint color in a shade that compliments your home's design – such as pastels for a country cottage aesthetic​​ or dark jewel tones for a rich, elegant vibe – and cover the pavers in a few coats. If you want to really personalize it, you could use multiple colors to paint on geometric designs, flowers, ivy, or any other motifs you like. You could even try painting a faux marble look to imitate high-end jewelry organizers found in stores. Finally, add your jewelry! While the original video only shows necklaces on the paving stone holder, you can also try layering bracelets, anklets, or even earrings in the natural gaps of the stone.
