Bathroom countertops covered with loose necklaces and bracelets lead to tangled jewelry. A paper towel roll can make a beautiful DIY jewelry storage solution, but there's another product you might want to look into instead. A single Dollar Tree pool noodle and a paper towel holder will help you to craft a jewelry stand that looks chic and store-bought. By disguising the foam with fabric, vinyl, or peel-and-stick wallpaper, no one will guess that your stylish accessory holder was once a pool toy. With your bracelets and necklaces displayed neatly, your morning routine will be easier, too.
This budget-friendly project is extremely easy and quick to make, organizing your jewelry without much time, effort, or money. Dollar Tree pool noodles are just $1 each in stores, and the paper towel holder is $1.25, keeping the cost of this project super low. Repurposing scrap fabric or leftover craft supplies will also ensure this DIY stays affordable. Though peel-and-stick wallpaper can be expensive, you'll only need a couple of sheets. Home Depot carries samples for around $5 (like the NuWallpaper blue songbird peel-and-stick wallpaper sample), letting you give your jewelry storage a polished, modern look on a budget.
Depending on how much jewelry you have, this DIY stand can be made with one or two tiers, and it could also store hair accessories like scrunchies or hair ties as well. Your organizer will sit neatly on a countertop, nightstand, or vanity. Though this storage won't fit rings, you can create ring storage in minutes out of an old frame.
Crafting an elegant jewelry organizer from pool noodles
The pieces of pool noodle will act as arms to gently support your precious bracelets and necklaces just like commercial bracelet stands. Cut one or two pieces of pool noodle to be several inches long. If you're using contact paper to decorate, trim your noodle to the length of the wallpaper sheet. To store more jewelry of varying sizes, create an organizer with two tiers. Otherwise, a tall, single-tiered holder is great for collections of long necklaces.
Before assembling the holder, cover the noodles. Glue decorative fabric, such as a velvety material, to the foam. Fold the edges into the opening on each end of the pool noodles. Otherwise, roll adhesive paper over the foam. To hide the ends, cut out circles of the sticky wallpaper and press them into place.
@lizfenwickdiy Who knew that a Dollar Tree paper towel holder and pool noodle could make the cutest jewelry organization?! 🤩 This DIY was so much fun and I love how it turned out! #dollartree #easydiy #diy #dollartreecrafts #dollartreefinds #dollartreediy #dollartreecommunity #dollartreeorganization #organization #diyorganization #dollartreehaul #jewelryorganizer
Make a horizontal slit all the way through the center of one noodle and slide it onto the paper towel holder. Add glue into the cut to fuse the pieces together. The slice in the second noodle should only go halfway through the foam, allowing it to sit atop the towel holder. Glue the top noodle into place as well to ensure your jewelry storage is sturdy. If you don't like the silver color of the metal base, paint it first. Finally, slide bracelets, watches, and necklaces onto the padded arms of your homemade jewelry stand. For those who want a more ornate organizer, consider upcycling old teacups into a stunning jewelry storage solution.
