Keep in mind that mesh desktop organizers that you can find at office supply stores or, even better, thrift shops, are perfect for organizing post earrings. You can arrange dozens of earrings in one mesh organizer.

Know tackle box inserts, especially the clear ones, are also great for organizing small earrings. Each pair of earrings gets its own compartment, and you can scan them all at once.

Understand french hook earrings can dangle over the side of a cute tea cup or goblet. This way you can see all your French hook earrings an even use the center of the cup for another jewelry item such a necklace or bangle bracelets.

Remember ice cube trays make a practical container for holding earrings. You probably don't want an ice cube tray sitting out on your dresser, but it may fit nicely in a drawer. You can even stack multiple ice cube trays full of earrings in a drawer.

5
Be aware clip-on earrings can easily snap onto a thick piece of ribbon. Let ribbons dangle from a hanger, and you can organize dozens and dozens of clip-on earrings.
-
6
Staple a piece of window screening into a picture frame. The earrings fit through the tiny spaces in the screen, and you can see them all at once. Choose a frame that complements the theme in your bedroom or bathroom and your earring organizer will fit right in.
-
7
Find a wide piece of lace and hang it on the wall just from the top. Your earrings can fit in all the holes.

I would never spend that kind of time or money to make an earring holder when there is a better way to go. I have used and purchased many earring holders and none of them measure up to what I currently use. The Earring Angel Pierced Earring Holder is the very best earring to organizer I have ever used. There is nothing that even comes close and it is affordable. When I get dressed in the morning there are all my earrings neatly displayed at my finger tips near my dressing mirror so getting ready in the morning is a snap. -
