"I love earrings and have a retail-style rotating clear acrylic display on my dresser to contain them all, but before I had room for such a proper setup, I was hanging pairs of earrings on a piece of lace I taped to my closet door to prevent them getting tangled up or lost. In addition to being resourceful, this DIY storage method created an eye-catching showcase of my accessories instead of hiding them in a jewelry box."
"I first caught wind of this idea in a video by Astrid (@aztridk on TikTok), who regularly posts thrifting-related content. In the video, she spots a simple metal paper towel holder at a secondhand shop. She takes it home, puts it on top of her dresser, and instead of placing a paper towel roll on it, she stacks it full of bangle bracelets."
"Since this is a vertical, freestanding paper towel holder rather than a horizontal one that mounts to a wall, the bracelets have to be stacked up, which does mean if you want to grab the bracelet on the bottom, you have to remove the whole stack to get to it. You can see this in Astrid's video, and one commenter points it out as a potential flaw in the system."
Vertical freestanding paper towel holders can be repurposed as bracelet storage by stacking bangles on the upright rod, creating a decorative, space-saving display on a dresser. Stacked bracelets prevent tangling and keep pieces visible, though accessing bracelets near the bottom requires removing the stack unless bracelets are organized by frequency of wear. Thrifted metal holders and simple, low-cost options are readily available. Alternative DIY solutions include hanging earrings on lace taped to a closet door or using retail-style rotating clear acrylic displays. The repurposed holder combines function with an eye-catching presentation for jewelry storage.
