Hello! I am Timichu, Toni’s favorite figurine. I am here to share with you how Toni keeps her earrings organized. She used to keep all her dangling earrings in one box, so they’d always end up in tangles. Dangles in tangles! Ack. They gave her a headache. This is why she adores this earrings (and bracelet) organizer. Let me tell you about it some more!
This organizer is made of sturdy plastic. There are two rows of foam at the bottom, three rows for hanging, and five blunt spokes at the top, for bracelets and necklaces. Depending on each one’s length, you can fill up to 30 pairs of earrings here! But Toni hates cramped spaces, so she gives each pair of earrings a bit of breathing room too.
Just spear those hooks through that foam! See all that space? You can fill it with your stud earrings too. But Toni organizes her stud earrings another way. Maybe she’ll tell you about it sometime. And oh, I told Toni maybe she can just buy foam and put it in a picture frame. You know, take out the glass first. She says it’s a good idea! She’ll try it one of these days. But she’s afraid all the blank space might encourage her to buy more earrings.
So this is how Toni organizes her earrings. And oh, you know what the best thing is? These organizers cost only P55 each at Daiso. She went to the Daiso store in Shoppesville, Greenhills. There are LOTS of good buys there she says, but this earrings organizer was her absolute fave.
I hope this gives you some ideas on how to organize those earrings! Maybe you can share how you organize your earrings? Let us know! This is Timichu, signing off.
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

February 27, 2008 at 6:31 am (16 years ago)I need one of these things! Funny when you mentioned the picture frame idea in your post, I was actually thinking of the same thing. Maybe one of these days, I’ll give it a go.

February 27, 2008 at 9:10 am (16 years ago)Timichu, Toni sure got a lot of earrings! Tell her that I only have a few pairs and they are mostly studs so I keep them in a big jewelry box along with my other jewelry. Nice to meet you, though! Hope we see you again some other time, why not show us what Toni’s bathroom look like?

February 27, 2008 at 10:53 am (16 years ago)I keep my earrings in a little plastic bag. I should get one of these, kahit apat pa lang ang sets ng hikaw ko.

February 27, 2008 at 11:29 am (16 years ago)hey toni! so you’re an earring fanatic too. hehehe. i have an organizer just like yours but in black; but as my collection continues to multiply (much to the consternation of the hubby), i’m trying to find something else. odette’s chicken wire idea will do nicely i think; i can also hang my sunglasses there!

February 27, 2008 at 12:02 pm (16 years ago)Hello, Timichu! I’m not much of a dangly earring girl (got an autistic son who likes to swallow them whole) but I do like little Japanese dolls like yourself. Do you have a sister?
Toni, great idea on the organizer! The earrings look very, uhm, organized. Will you share with us your thoughts on how to organize the organizers? I’m running out of closet and dresser space!

February 28, 2008 at 12:52 am (16 years ago)i’ve been looking for something like that in a long time. i have one for bracelets and necklaces but not for earrings.
Gracey
February 28, 2008 at 2:25 am (16 years ago)That’s pretty and organized! I organize mine the classic way. Jewelry boxes. But I have each of them packed in zip-locked plastic bag or organza.

February 28, 2008 at 5:16 am (16 years ago)wow, daiso in manila!
i have mine in a jewelry box although my earrings are mixed with necklaces, bracelets so not really organized. hmm, i think i’ll give your commenter’s idea a try.. put them in organza or mini zip-lock bags.
cute ni timichu!

February 28, 2008 at 7:52 am (16 years ago)hhhmmm, its hard to describe, but i bought my sisters that hanging placemat with holes. ganun din the concept, so she can hang her gazillion dangling earrings 😉
look also at clerk.multiply.com for other organizing stuff for sale

February 28, 2008 at 10:11 am (16 years ago)i made one of this. i used a thick paper (in between a bond paper and a cardboard), manually placed small holes in it and clipped the paper to a lampshade i no longer use. hmm, but next time i’m at greenhills, ill definitely be checking the store you mentioned.

February 28, 2008 at 10:33 am (16 years ago)Wow! Will visit Daiso this weekend. Where exactly in Shoppesville is it? =)
Leah
February 28, 2008 at 12:24 pm (16 years ago)Those are such nice collection of earrings, plus its so visual, you can decide right away which one to use. I think I’ll try organizing mine that way. Do you have a solution for necklaces? I have this big jewelry cabinet and it houses my kikay knick knacks but somehow, i manage to mess it up all the time.
Pat
February 28, 2008 at 2:06 pm (16 years ago)i use those small plastic boxes with lots of tiny drawers. i just plunk my earrings into one of the empty drawers so it keeps them dust free too. the bad side is when i’m searching for a particular pair of earrings and i have to open all the drawers. hee hee

March 6, 2008 at 5:38 pm (16 years ago)Hi Toni. Timichu is sooo cute!
What a nice coincidence that we have the same organizer. I LOVE your earring collection. Very nice! I only have a few dangling earrings but I want to buy more. Before I was so conscious because my ears are a bit big and thought dangling earrings make them look bigger. However, when my cousin gave me a pair, it made me open to the idea of wearing more dangling earrings.

July 28, 2008 at 11:21 pm (16 years ago)Gorgeous! I use a large satin covered chocolate box I was given that has the top as an individually separated compartments type deal and then the bottom is a pull out drawer. But if you don’t want to spend money on an organizer, if you eat eggs, just cut the egg carton in half (a cross section cut) and then put it in a top drawer. Now you have lots of compartments for earrings, necklaces, earrings and even pendants!
