Jewelry holder for Mom in assisted living

My mother is in an assisted living facility. She has some jewelry that needs a home other than a plastic bag. Nothing is expensive but there isn't enough room or jewelry for traditional box. The necklaces are the problem, tangling. Theft is not a worry but she wouldn't want to see the jewelry itself. Closet shelves are filled with extra needs. So, not country yet not modern and not large. My creative juices have taken a vacation so I need yours. Ideas, please?

I bought a large framed storage/picture holder for my daughter when she was away at college. It looks like a large collage frame, with lots of room for pictures. That part is on hinges, and it swings open to reveal hangers for necklaces. I believe I bought it online, but, if you're handy, it wouldn't be hard to make. She didn't have room for something sitting on her desk or dresser, so this worked great. Most places will let you hang family photos on the wall.

What I did is put little stick on hooks on the end of the dresser that I don't really see and that's where I hang the things I wear on a daily basis. They are so inexpensive you can have one for every necklace.

Thank you for helping. That is something I would do but not on Mom's dresser. There is a space from dresser to wall and is a hidden area. Thank you again. I have some ideas.

You can frame a section of sceen (from a screen door) and use that to hang jewelry from hooks.

FYI I was at Walmart this afternoon and they had a jewelry box behind a picture frame, but smaller - it held three 5"x7' pictures vertically and was reasonably priced. I don't wear alot of jewelry either, but, like to keep my chains untangled and that was more my size than the one I bought my daughter. There's usually alot of different gift ideas this time of year, and you might happen upon the perfect one!

here's what I did. Also what about a picture frame put small eyelets around and hang up her jewelry. No picture or anything in picture frame itself, just her jewelry. You can decorate the frame with any color or whatever.

A tree branch. I sanded down a tree branch and secured it to the wall. It looks pretty elegant once the jewelry is hung on there. They sell these at craft stores as well. Some with wooden bases. https://goo.gl/photos/xNGiN5EavNtXCUAT6
