Thrifty Thursday...Cooling Rack For Earrings

The organizing continues at our house. As I mentioned in previous posts, our daughters are home from college and lots of "stuff" invades the house. Purging is the word of the week, but sometimes purging doesn't work when I keep some of their things for myself!!

They clean out and I keep their hand me downs, so not really a purge but more of a rearranging!! One clean out project yesterday was Kelsie's old jewelry drawer. I have my own jewelry organized in a drawer in plastic bins, but when I kept some of her earrings that have the wire hooks, I needed a different way to display them so I can see them better.

Baking cooling rack to the rescue...

Let's see how easy this is to do...

You can buy a new baking cooling rack in discount stores very inexpensively.

Some have little legs on them, so that might cause them to stand away from the wall.

I hung mine on the end of a shoe organizing cabinet, so I couldn't nail into it. I just used two 3M adhesive hooks.

These hooks were shallow so the rack hung better with the little legs facing out. Adjust yours according to the hooks or nails you use.

The wire earrings hang perfectly and are so easy to see now.

The wire earring just hooks onto the grid of the cooking rack.

Make sure the grid is wide enough to hook your earrings.

  

You can be thrifty and buy one in a discount store, but I've also seen them in yard sales and thrift stores or if you don't bake anymore use the one in your kitchen!!

Have a Very Thrifty Thursday,
