Shoe box jewelry organiser


Materials Needed 

1. Empty shoe box
2. Pencils
3. Craft knife



Step 1: Measuring



Measure the approximate maximum diameter of the bangles /bracelets you are going to hang. This determines the spacing between the pencils. In my case, the average diameter of my bangles /bracelets was around 6.5cm, so I took the distance between slits to be 7cm.


Step 2: Making the slits



The width and height of each slit should be enough to accommodate the pencil comfortably. 
I have taken the width of each slit to be 0.7cm and the height of each slit to be 1cm.
Distance between the wall of the box and slits A and B should be half of the average diameter of your bangle you had measured. 
So in my case, the distance between the wall of the box and slits A and B was 3.5cm (7cm/2)

• Distance between the wall of the box and slits A and B is be 3.5cm. 
• Distance between A,B and C,D is 7cm 
• Distance between C,D and E,F is 7cm 
• Distance between E,F and H,G is 7cm 
• Distance between the wall of the box and the last slits H and G is be 3.5cm. 


Make slits on the box with the mentioned spacing using a craft knife.

Step 3: Placing the pencils


Now, we are almost done.
Place the pencils on the slits you've made and you are good to go!

UPDATE: Like Marmaris crafts mentioned, this could also be used to organize ribbons and tapes!


Note:

  • ·    You can cover the shoe box with paper or fabric of your choice. 
  • ·       You can use rods of any sort instead of the pencil.
