Easy Earring Organization in Under 5 Minutes for Under $10

Living in an RV or small space means finding creative ways to store, display, or organize jewelry. I don't have a lot of jewelry, but I do love earrings and necklaces. Storing earrings has been a thorn in my side for years. I have a small box that I've been keeping them in, but they get tangled with other earrings. I had to find another way.

A major overlooked space available for organizing is doors. I had plenty of space to hang earrings on the inside of my bathroom pantry door.

How to make an easy earring organizer in under 5 minutes for under $10:

Step 1: Start with a roll of burlap garland/ribbon. You can find this at any arts and crafts store or by clicking the picture below. There are different sizes, such as 4 inches wide or 5 inches wide, so decide which width you want to use, the length can be determined later.
Step 2: Unroll the burlap garland/ribbon to determine the length you will need. With a pair of scissors, cut the length about an inch or two longer than you need. Why? Because I learned this the hard way. The burlap can become unfrayed making it unusable, so allowing a little extra length at the top especially, will prevent it from unfraying with the weight of the earrings hanging on it.
Step 3: Place the burlap piece where you want to attach it, leaving a 1/2 inch to 1 inch extra material on the top (again, to prevent it from becoming unfrayed). With a staple gun, staple the burlap piece to the door along the top, sides, and bottom to secure it.
Step 4: That's it! If you'd like, you can add some colorful ribbon as a trim, just use double-sided tape to attach it to the edge of the burlap onto the door. If not, that's fine, it will look and work just fine like it is. Hang your earrings and you're done!

Watch my video on how to do this here:

Note: This doesn't work well with earrings that have posts. It works best with earrings that have hooks that you can simply slip through the holes in the burlap to hang.

Let me know! Have you tried this? Did you do anything differently? Tell us and share pictures in comments below!

If you enjoyed this organization tip, we'd love for you to pin it and share it with your friends!

Organizing the RV Basement

Image
The basement of an RV can vary in size greatly. Ours is a huge pass-through, so we use a number of organizers to keep everything neatly packed and organized. On the side of the basement just outside the front door is where we keep all of our outdoor necessities. In the back, a hard-to-reach area, is where we store Christmas decorations and less used outdoor items such as fishing gear , a hammock , and tarps in large plastic bins . We use plastic crates to store awning lights and sports equipment. Some smaller, stackable plastic containers in the front hold bike safety gear and our outdoor decor like flags and hummingbird feeders . In the middle is where our camping chairs slide easily in and out. We have two zero-gravity chairs , a folding rocking chair to rock the baby, and some folding mesh chairs for the boys. We also have some folding tables . We have a large outdoor mat , but we fold it up and store it in the front storage area under the bulkhead. We also have a portable

Organizing a Small Freezer

Image
Most 5th Wheels have what I call a 1/2 fridge. There's not a lot of space in there, so organization is a must when trying to feed a family of 4. I got sick of items falling out of the freezer everytime I opened the door. Stacking things on those shelves just wasn't working. When I took inventory of what was in the freezer, I realized that I could organize the items into three sections - breakfast items, meat items, and prepared foods. The other thing I needed space for were ice cubes, since we have an ice maker . So, I measured the length, height, and depth of the spaces and found these sturdy plastic organizer bins with handy handle cutouts. Their measurements, 8-inches square by 6-inches high, were a perfect match. Here's a 4-pack that will save you some money. This is how my freezer looks now and nothing falls out, ever.

Organizing the Kitchen

Image
Our RV kitchen drawers are long, narrow, and deep. With a width of only 8" to deal with, I quickly realized that it was going to be quite difficult to find a silverware organizer that would fit. I finally found a 7" organizer  and bought two. Once they arrived and fit nicely in the bottom of the drawers, I couldn't help but wonder how to make use of all the height space. There is a company called InterDesign that sells a wide range of clear, heavy duty plastic containers for kitchens and bathrooms. These little caddies are an RVer's dream come true. I bought two that are 8" by 8". Then, I found some stick mount hooks at Wal-Mart and attached them to the sides of the caddies. Now, they slip right into the drawers, providing extra storage space. When I need to access something underneath, I simply lift up the caddy, get what I need, and put it back in.       On the front of the cabinet, under the sink, I had some blank space. I decided to attach some
