Materials You’ll Need

Before you begin, gather all the necessary materials. This project is not only fun but also repurposes items you may already have at home, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution. Here’s a comprehensive list of everything you need to create your own stunning jewelry organizer:

  • 1 Deviled Egg Plate: This will serve as the base of your organizer. You can find one at most home goods stores or online (Bed Bath and Beyond is a good option). The unique design of the deviled egg plate makes it ideal for holding small items like rings and stud earrings.
  • 1 Small Dinner Plate: Choose a plate that is smaller than the deviled egg plate but larger than the cereal bowl. This will form the middle tier of your organizer.
  • 1 Cereal Bowl: This will be the top tier, perfect for holding larger items like bracelets or small necklaces.
  • 1 Drinking Glass: This will act as a support between the deviled egg plate and the dinner plate. Select a glass with a sturdy base.
  • 1 Candlestick Holder: This will support the cereal bowl on top of the dinner plate. A candlestick holder with a wide base will provide stability.
  • E6000 Glue: This strong adhesive is essential for securely bonding the pieces together. It provides a durable and long-lasting hold.
  • Spray Paint: Choose your favorite color to customize your organizer. I used Montana Gold, but any spray paint will work. Consider the aesthetic of your room when choosing a color to ensure the organizer complements your existing decor.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Your Jewelry Organizer

Now that you’ve gathered all your materials, let’s get started on the construction of your 3-tiered jewelry organizer. Follow these simple steps to bring your vision to life:

Step 1: Selecting and Arranging Your Tiers

Arranging Tiers for Jewelry Organizer

Begin by carefully selecting your tiers. The dinner plate will serve as the middle layer, so ensure it is narrower than the deviled egg plate but wider than the cereal bowl. The drinking glass and candlestick holder will act as the supporting structures between the tiers. Play around with different glasses and candlestick holders to see which combination works best aesthetically. There’s no strict formula here – choose what looks most pleasing to your eye and fits your design preferences.

Once you’ve arranged your tiers, it’s time to start gluing the pieces together.

Step 2: Gluing the First Two Tiers

Apply a generous amount of E6000 glue to the base of the drinking glass and carefully center it on the deviled egg plate. Consider positioning the glass upside down for a more visually appealing look, but ultimately, the choice is yours. Press firmly and hold for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond. Next, apply glue to the top of the glass and attach the dinner plate, again centering it carefully.

Step 3: Adding the Final Tier

Gluing the Final Tier of Jewelry Organizer

Apply glue to the top of the dinner plate and attach the candlestick holder. Finally, glue the cereal bowl to the top of the candlestick holder. Be sure to wipe off any excess glue with a paper towel to prevent it from drying and becoming visible. Allow the entire structure to dry completely for a few hours to ensure a secure bond. The key to a sturdy organizer is allowing the glue ample time to cure.

Safety Tip: Ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area, as E6000 glue has a strong odor.

Step 4: Adding a Splash of Color with Spray Paint

Spray Painting the Jewelry Organizer

Once the glue is completely dry, it’s time to add a personal touch with spray paint. Choose your favorite color and apply thin, even coats to the entire organizer. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat, as this will prevent drips and ensure a smooth finish. Keep in mind that certain materials like glass and porcelain may result in a slightly textured finish. If you prefer a completely smooth surface, consider using acrylic craft paint and a paintbrush instead. Allow the paint to dry completely before moving on to the final step.

And that’s it! Your beautiful 3-tiered jewelry organizer is complete and ready to use. Wasn’t that easy?
