Organizer made from boxes
To work you need:

Two-level cosmetics stand
To create this option you will need:
- a pair of shoe box lids;

First you need to cover the lids with paper. Instead of paper, you can use wallpaper. Let the cardboard dry. Make additional decoration with paper with a special print. Measure 20 centimeters on the sleeve and cut off the excess. Cover the sleeve with paper too.
Apply hot glue to one edge of the sleeve and glue it to the center of the larger lid. Wait until the parts are well fixed. Apply hot glue to the other edge of the sleeve and install the smaller cap. For greater stability, you can take two bushings. The organizer is ready!
Simple organizer for decorations
Earrings, bracelets, chains and other jewelry are inconvenient to store in one pile. If stored improperly, small items can quickly get lost. You need to allocate your own special place for decorations. An organizer in the form of a picture works well for jewelry. To make such an organizer, you need to take:
- picture or photo frame
- paint, coating varnish;
- ruler, pencil;
- glue;
- stapler;
- rope or tape;
- self-tapping screws;
- beautiful fabric or picture.
It is advisable to use the frame without coating. They are sold in construction and art stores. This frame can be painted in any desired color.
The first step is to paint the frame in two layers. After the paint has dried, coat the product with varnish. Then insert a picture or fabric with a beautiful pattern, lace, into the frame. This will become the background of your organizer. Next, you need to place pieces of rope along the width of the frame parallel to the product and secure it with glue or a stapler.
The decorations will be held on these. You can drive small nails into the edges of the frame and stretch the rope between them. At the end of the work, secure the loop with a self-tapping screw and hang your product on the wall. The jewelry organizer is ready!
