Bamboo room divider = DIY fashion accessories valet

A few people have asked me for jewelry organizing solutions. You asked for it, so you got it. (More jewelry storage ideas to come.) I bought this Ikea room divider for $10 in the As-Is section last year. I wasn’t a fan of the black hook-and-loop holding it together, but the individual panels make a handy place to organize fashion accessories.

One panel holds enough for me, but fashionistas may need the entire room-divider to hold all of their accoutrements. I also think the panels would be classy spray painted black or white. Right?

How to turn a bamboo room-divider into a fashion accessories valet

SUPPLIES & TOOLS
  • room divider (or any type of panel with caning)

  • white or clear over the door j-hooks

  • small s-hooks (found at hardware stores)

  • 1½-inch loose-leaf rings (found at stationery stores)

  • small key rings

  • ¾-inch-wide hook-and-loop tape with adhesive backing

  • ¾-inch-wide double-sided mounting tape

  • bulldog clips (found at stationery stores)

  • scissors

INSTRUCTIONS
Supplies for making a fashion accessories valet, photo

1. First cut two 2-inch pieces of each side of the hook-and-loop tape and ten 2-inch pieces of mounting tape.

2. Peel off the backing and stack five pieces of mounting tape together. Adhere that stack to the back of one side of the hook-and-loop tape. Repeat. You will have two stacks of tape, which will serve as a spacer and will keep the panel from flopping around when you open and close the door.

3. Peel off the backing. Adhere one side of the stacked tape to the back of the panel near the bottom. Repeat for the other side. Then hang your panel on the over-the door hooks, and adhere the other side of the stacked hook-and-loop tape to the door.

4. Hang necklaces and brooches from s-hooks. Hang rings from small loose-leaf rings dangling from s-hooks. Hang earrings directly from the caning. Wrap watches and bracelets around the top bars.
