Having a hanging jewelry organizer is one of the best things that you can do to diminish clutter from your jewelry collection. Not only are they easy to make they are inexpensive to make as well. Today we will be learning to make one of these great space saving devices.
The first thing that we will need to do is to make a materials list. There are not a lot of materials but the ones that we need are crucial to the success of your hanging jewelry organizer. The materials that we need are a piece of plastic or cloth sheet such as a tarp or bed sheet. A sharp pair of scissors, measuring tape, stick of super glue, sewing machine or needle and thread and or a hot glue gun, a coat hanger, and a pencil marker or piece of chalk.
After we have compiled all of our items together it is time to embark on the first step of making our hanging jewelry organizers. To do this we will need to cut the strips out for our pockets. Cut about ten of the strips the length of the main piece of material and the width of about four or five inches.
After cutting the strips, it is now time to attach them to the main piece of material. The best way that I have found to do is to either take the super glue or hot glue gun and tack the four corners of the strip onto the main piece. I line up the bottom of the strip with the bottom of the main piece to get a good level line. Once this is done I begin sewing the bottom and the sides of the strap onto the large piece.
The next step after doing this is to decide how big you want your pockets to big and to add the rest of the strips to the main material. This part is all up to your personal preference. I usually try to keep all of the pockets uniform and strips evenly separated.
The closing step is where we adjoin the hanging component to hanging jewelry organizer. This is where we adjoin the coat hanger to the main piece of fabric. At this position every one of the strips should be sewn into the chief material and prepared into pockets. Once this is done cut a small piece of cloth and cut an opening just big enough for the hook part of the coat hanger to fit. Once this is done hem the cloth around the gap as to offer tear support for the hanger when it sustains the organizer.
