How to Create a Jewelry Box Drawer

The trick to maintaining your jewelry collection is how to organize it all. If you have a upper dresser drawer that you are not putting to good use, rearrange its other contents to make room for a jewelry bow drawer. Creating a functional space need not be expensive and can be accomplished in less than three hours.

Instructions

1

Use clear plastic bins so that you can easily view your jewelry. Select various sizes of bins---for example, the long and narrow bin for storing long wooden spoons is ideal for your longer necklaces.

2

Empty your dresser or bureau drawer and wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Add a solid neutral-colored drawer liner to the drawer.

3

Lay out the empty bins to ensure they will fit inside the drawer. Organize your jewelry in any way that suites your personal taste. Store your fine jewelry in a separate, more secure area. Silver should be stored in resealable plastic containers to prevent tarnishing.

4

Place the bins containing your most-used pieces on top. If you have more jewelry than one level of bins can hold, you can stack the bins.

5

Muffin pans are an alternative to clear plastic bins if you're looking for items to use around your home. They will store the smaller items just as well as plastic bins.
