Organizer for jewelry
Jewelry requires a special storage space, as small parts are quickly lost if mishandled. At the same time, jewelry should be visible to simplify the collection process for the fair sex. Organizers in the form of a photo frame or a picture are suitable for storing jewelry.
The main materials from which you can make an organizer in a home workshop:
- Frame for photography or painting;
- Water-soluble paint;
- Coating varnish;
- Simple pencil;
- Glue;
- Lace fabric or a beautiful picture for the background;
- A piece of rope (tape);
- Ruler;
- Stapler;
- Self-tapping screw.
Stages of work
A ready-made frame can be purchased at an art store or building supermarket, but it must be uncoated in order to be able to paint the product in the desired color.
The painting process is carried out first of all, for which two layers of paint are applied with short breaks (about 1 hour), so that the first layer has time to dry well. A layer of varnish must be applied to the dried paint.
Do not forget that after each stage, it is advisable to clean the brush of paint, especially before applying varnish.
A piece of beautiful fabric, lace or an ordinary picture is inserted into the frame, which will become the background for the future organizer.
Decorations will be held on ropes (ribbons) or self-tapping screws. Rope cuts along the length of the frame are placed along the product and fixed either with a stapler or glue.
You can hammer in 2 small studs on each side and just pull the rope over them. Large nails, metal hooks and baskets can act as jewelry holders.
At the last stage, you need to fix the loop with a self-tapping screw in order to hang the picture on the wall. The jewelry organizer is ready!
Making an organizer for wires, office supplies
In addition to decorations in organizers, it is convenient to store various little things that can be found in every home. A photo of a homemade organizer for small things can be found on the Internet and used as an example.
It is easy to make such a product, but for this you need the following materials:
- Thick cardboard (can be used from a waste box);
- Glue and double-sided tape;
- Scrapbooking paints or paper;
- Pencil;
- Ruler;
- Scissors;
- Stapler;
- Stationery knife;
- Textile.
Work on creating an organizer
To begin with, the dimensions of the future organizer are determined. It will consist of several parts, which are located depending on personal needs in any convenient way.
5 pieces of cardboard are cut out: rectangular for the bottom and 4 for the walls. The large part can be easily replaced by 2 small ones, which are glued together in the middle.
The main thing is that the structure is firmly fastened with tape.
The walls of the organizer are glued to the base with ordinary tape from opposite sides. To do this, the wall is placed on the edge of the base, and the tape captures two parts at once. After that, the other two sides are glued, and the edges between all the walls are fixed with tape. If necessary, you need to cut off some part of the cardboard at the joints to make the "box" easier.
At the fourth stage, it is necessary to measure the box from both the outer and inner parts, and then transfer the measurements to fabric or scrapbooking paper. It is recommended to use different shades for decoration so that the product looks more stylish and interesting.
Before gluing the fabric, it must be carefully ironed to facilitate the next stage of work.
In the upper inner part, the fabric is fixed with a stapler, and the edge at the bottom with glue. After that, double-sided tape is half-glued to the upper inner edge, which is folded onto the outside. It should be on both sides of the edge.
The fabric parts for the outside of the box are placed on the adhesive tape that was glued earlier, from the inside along the entire perimeter of the product.
Double-sided tape is glued to the bottom along the entire perimeter of the box, after which the fabric is pulled over it to finish the outer side. This must be done so that there are no folds or ugly creases on the fabric.
The bottom is covered with a cloth, after which marks are made to fold it to fit the box. The excess needs to be bent inward, where the pieces of double-sided tape are located.
Thus, the bottom of the box is filled and the product takes on its final appearance. Any errors are glued with glue.
Sometimes a box is filled with such small parts that large compartments are not suitable for storage. Partitions come to the rescue, which are installed inside, dividing the space into many small cells.
The partitions are made of cardboard, pasted over in the color you like, on each of which there are cutouts on one side. The size of the cell depends on the number of cutouts on one partition. After preparatory work they simply slide into each other, creating separate boxes for small components.
So either one box is made, or several, but at the same time they are connected double-sided tape or with a stapler into a single product. Organizer sections can be of different sizes, depending on the imagination of the master.
By a similar principle, an organizer is made with your own hands at home from cardboard tubes. Tubes made of building stores or a base from under the cling film of large sizes, from which several cuts are made. They are pasted over with cloth or paper, the edges are sanded with sandpaper, fastened to each other with glue or glued to a chipboard stand, which acts as a base.
