Jewelry and Makeup Organization From an Old Dye Rack

My makeup started out in a travel bag that worked out ok for awhile. But then I had my colors done and figuring out what looked good on me and what worked with the colors that were best for me tor me to wear, my collection gradually began to outgrow the bag. My jewelry was the same way. I had a spot for necklaces, an old display rack, but no where for earrings. I kept them in a muslin pouch but that wasn't working at all. I'd have to dump everything out to see what I wanted to wear and it was hard on the dangly ones! I'd bought this old RIT dye rack at a benefit auction thinking I'd use it at the store as a display piece. But one day it hit me that it just might work to organize my jewelry and my makeup AND it would fit very well on my bathroom counter!
This old rack is a perfect size to sit on the countertop. And the metal rods are just the right size to hang dandly earrings on. Stud earring work nicely tucked into the empty spaces where the dye used to be displayed.
Easy to see what all I have and they don't get all tangled up with each other!
Starting to fill it up - so fun to display jewelry instead of tucking it away where it languishes and is never seen.
