DIY: Geometric Jewelry Trays

Ladies, this one's for you because if you're anything like me, you struggle with jewelry organization sometimes. Ok, for me, that's all the time! I swear, Alex must go nuts with all my necklaces and earrings lying around. Not to mention hair ties, oh and have I said bobby pins yet? Ok include those in there too! The thing with jewelry organization though, is that it needs to be easy to access, and you also want it to be pretty, am  right? I think I found an easy (and super inexpensive) way to help us all achieve that!Jewelry trays made using thrifted pieces and electrical tape! This was such an easy project that I want to make 100 more! Ok, maybe not 100, but I certainly will be making these again because truthfully, they'd make great gifts, too! Here's what you need:Jewelry trays made using thrifted pieces and electrical tape!I got the plates at Salvation Army for $.50 each.  Steal! The electrical tape was also $.50 a roll, soooo this project cost me $1.50 for two trays!!! This makes me insanely happy. All you need to do now if cut out some triangles out of the tape. They don't have to be perfect or completely even,  though the more even the better, obviously. I cut squares then triangles out of those. Jewelry trays made using thrifted pieces and electrical tape!I made up the patterns as I went. I didn't plan this out very well, but in the end it worked out beautifully! One of the lovely things about the electrical tape is that it's really easy to remove and replace as you're working, so play with it a little!Here are the finished trays!Jewelry trays made using thrifted pieces and electrical tape!I almost didn't want to put anything in them!
