Jewelry Cabinet

If you have too much jewelry for just one small jewelry box, consider using this free jewelry cabinet plan from Her Tool Belt.

There are 6 drawers, fold-out sides, and a case on the top complete with a lid that flips up to show a mirror. If you have a big enough closet, this would work well in it along with a DIY shoe rack.

There's a materials list, cut list, step-by-step directions, and lots of diagrams included.

Easy DIY Earring Stand

This DIY earring stand isn't quite a jewelry box, but it certainly could replace one. Built from wood boards and decorative aluminum sheets, this isn't the average earring stand that you could pick up at the discount store. You can really change the look of it by painting or staining it in a bold color.
