Tired of untangling necklaces and hunting for that missing earring? Here are 10 creative DIY jewelry organizers to help you keep your collection neat, accessible, and beautifully displayed.
In a recent post I shared our organized master bedroom and mentioned that I was still looking for a better way to store jewelry. I already had a few pegs for necklaces and a jewelry tree for bracelets and earrings, but I wanted a more efficient, attractive system. A little online searching turned up plenty of inspiring, practical ideas. Below are ten favorites—each simple, stylish, and doable with basic materials.
Below are 10 Creative DIY Jewelry Organizers
Sources for each idea are listed beneath the photos so you can look up tutorials or adapt the concepts to your own space.
1. Geometric Modern Jewelry Holder
A geometric, industrial-style wall piece combines form and function. Metal rods affixed to a painted board create a modern focal point that keeps necklaces and bracelets separated and tangle-free. This design works well as wall art in a bedroom or dressing area while serving a practical purpose.

2. Jewelry Blocks
Small wooden blocks fitted with thin metal rods or pegs provide a minimalist way to display necklaces and chains. These can be customized with paint or stain and arranged on a dresser or mounted on the wall to create a modular system that fits your collection size.

3. Peg Board & Accessories Station
A pegboard becomes a flexible accessory station when paired with hooks, baskets, and small shelves. It’s ideal for organizing necklaces, earrings, sunglasses, and even small purses. The arrangement can be easily reconfigured as your needs change.

4. Repurposed Drawer Jewelry Organizer
An old drawer can be transformed into a compact jewelry case by adding small hooks, dividers, or padded inserts. This is a great solution for dresser tops or a vanity area, keeping items visible and accessible without taking up wall space.

5. Secret Compartment Jewelry Case
A framed mirror or wall piece with a hidden slide-out compartment keeps jewelry protected and out of sight while still nearby. This approach is perfect for small valuables you want to keep discreet yet handy.

6. Copper Pipe Necklace Holder
A length of copper pipe or metal rod suspended with rope makes an attractive horizontal hanger for necklaces. Add S-hooks or individual hangers for easy removal. The metallic finish adds an industrial-chic touch and prevents tangling by spacing pieces apart.

Painted wooden boards fitted with cup hooks along the bottom edge form an attractive, customizable system for hanging necklaces and bracelets. These boards can be arranged in groups or staggered on a wall to create a cohesive display that matches your decor.

10. Recycled Silverware Tray Jewelry Organizer
An antique or thrifted silverware tray makes an elegant catch-all for rings, brooches, and small pieces. Lined with fabric or divided with small dishes, it keeps everyday items organized on a dresser or vanity while adding a vintage accent.
