Great Hang-ups

• Hanging your earrings makes it easy to find the ones you want at a glance. Buy a rack to hold several pair--they're available from websites such as OnlineOrganizing.com. If you have an excessive number of earrings, buy a really big rack--consider a 2-by-3-foot version from WallJewelryOrganizer.com. You can also hang earrings from found materials--such as a wide piece of ribbon or a piece of screen.
  
  

In the Drawer

• If you like to keep your earrings in a drawer, you have several choices for organizing them. Cut pieces of cork or Styrofoam to size, place them in a drawer and stick in your earrings. Other choices for drawers include mesh or plastic office-supply organizers; small plastic containers or cups and stackable ice cube trays.
  
  

Earrings as Art

• Your earrings are so pretty--why not display them as art and organize them at the same time? Enclose a piece of lace in a picture frame, and hang earrings from the material. Or you can poke your earrings through a crocheted or lacy garment hung from a fabric clothes hanger. Handsome holders are commercially available, too--take a look at the hand-painted mesh ones on EarringHolders.com. From images of elegant roses and hydrangeas to cheery martini glasses, these are works of art in themselves.
  
  

Old-fashioned Jewelry Box

• Buy a wooden jewelry box to organize your earrings. You'll find a variety of boxes on websites such as JewelryBoxShop.com, and you can even get them engraved with your name or initials. They have small compartments that are the perfect size for holding pairs of earrings. You can also find jewelry boxes made of other materials including lovely paper ones (esty.com--search for "earring storage").
