Unfuck Your Habitat

Terrifying motivation for lazy people with messy homes



Recent Tweets @TeamUfYH

I have a number of asks looking for tips on unfucking jewelry. I don’t really have any jewelry, so my tips are “don’t lose your wedding ring” and “if you don’t put earrings in once every few years, the holes close up.” Not helpful. I’ve seen some great organization pictures and ideas from people, so I’m opening it up to you guys.

Jewelry organization suggestions?

  1. h-feather answered: I have a really big necklace collection, but my two year-old makes it hard to wear nice ones. I’ve stored most of them in plastic baggies.

  3. akstatic answered: The majority of my jewelry is for body piercings/stretched ears, and I find a tackle box with small compartments=a great means of organizing!
  4. biowarefangirl answered: Hang bangles and rings from a mug holder.
  5. myownrobotbutler answered: interesting picture frame, piece of foam-core or even sturdy styrofoam, covered in pretty fabric w/straight or museum pins. cute & efficient
  6. isopod said: I use a key rack for my necklaces (which are my only jewelry.)
  7. poemnerd answered: I use a bead organizer—it’s a case with four plastic trays that are divided into compartments. The outside pockets hold bulky items.
  8. sicpress answered: i have this accordion tie rack inside my closet door i would hang necklaces from.
  9. vanessadoes answered: Cover a piece of thick foam board with pretty fabric. Grab pushpins. Hang necklaces, bracelets, etc. Use old teacups to hold earrings & rings
  10. s0yl0ques0y answered: one really ridiculously easy way to compactly and neatly store jewelry is to use a tackle box. enough sections for each piece & folds away.
  11. serenevannoy answered: I put each item (bracelet, necklace, pair of earrings) into a ziploc sandwich bag so they don’t get tangled. They also seem to stay cleaner.

  13. nrgkat answered: Jewelry as art. Take a picture frame put some lace in it & hot glue pegs to the frame. Now everything’s on the wall not in a pile.

  15. wordsofaweirdo answered: Hang a cross-stitch hoop with fabric stretched inside it. hook earrings into the fabric, hang necklaces from paperclip hooks. ditto for rings
  16. stuft answered: Tips beyond storage: Reclasp necklaces, bracelets, etc. after taking them off, hook earrings together if you can to prevent misplacing one.
  17. derzorngottes answered: If you’re more a minimal jewelry person but still have enough around to be a mess, I successfully used chocolate-box inserts in another box.
  18. trundlebear answered: People on Etsy make gorgeous necklace organizers for cheap — mine is hooks on a board by etsy.com/shop/ez…
  19. camerasandmachines answered: I second the person who said fish tackle boxes. I also have a jewelry tree for the stuff I wear the most frequently.
  20. quantumstarlight answered: This: cutoutandkeep.net/proje… and also jewelry boxes for other stuff.

  22. ladylikepunk answered: Get a huge chuch candle - pref unscented. Stick post earrings in it. Or get some sushi mats - nail to the wall & hook earrings through bamboo
  23. oneturianwoman answered: Get a box and cut a square of styrofoam to fit into it. You can stick your stud earrings in there to store easily!
  24. piggyplaypen answered: get cup hooks for necklaces and put them into the wall. that way it is super easy to just hang it up and even color coordiante
  25. bluelb-bunny answered: lemme submit another photo for you as well

  29. tentaclesandtypography answered: Get a legit jewelry box that can contain EVERYTHING. It’ll probably be massive. I had one given as a gift this year and it’s been a godsend.
  30. lillykane-dreams-on answered: Jewelry display organizers ftw. I was actually just thinking of posting mine because after two years, I finally untangled all my necklaces.
  31. randomlyshaped answered: don’t own jewelry and all your jewelry problems magically go away!
  32. xylophonetics answered: Egg cartons are really great for keeping earrings organized, really the best way to get visuals is to check out pinterest.

  34. emilyafter said: I keep my earrings stuck into nicely-framed corkboard (hung on the wall) and it looks great! Next to that I have three hooks on which I hang my necklaces. I’ll try and get a photo and send it your way.
  35. hugoalexandertimothycartwright answered: I took a board and put some nails in it (painted it pretty) and hang my necklaces there. :)
  36. beforethebloodgoesred answered: I’ve heard about keeping earrings in ice cube trays. :)
  37. kifkifbangbang answered: If you keep your necklaces in a box, put a drinking straw on the chain and clasp it. No more tangles!
  38. tequiladelrey answered: I keep my necklaces on a corkboard with pretty pushpins. Functional and pretty! Earrings are on an organizer from Claire’s.
  39. ycontrol answered: this thing: containerstore.com/shop… totally changed my life
  40. mahfootpops answered: thetravelwriterslife.co… to keep necklaces neat!
  41. queenandthree answered: I’m a fan of jewelry boxes and somerimes a decorative piece you can put your pieces you wear more often on for easy access
  42. artofobservation answered: For anything dangling (long earrings and necklaces mostly) it’s better to not keep them in drawers. Jewelry trees are your friend!
