Operation Organize: Tea Cup Trinkets

Nov 20, 2012 at 8:00am by Lauren Conrad

8116705954:Yahoo:photo


I was browsing around online and stumbled across the sweetest idea for stylish jewelry storage using dainty teacups and saucers in lieu of a traditional jewelry box. Funny enough, I have inadvertently been storing many of my favorite jewels this way for years. (I also keep pins and tacks in teacups around my Paper Crown office as well.) Why use a not-so-pretty container when you can keep your beautiful baubles in equally lovely bins such as a teacup. 


As many of you know, I am a firm believer in the idea that if you can't see it, you won't wear it. By keeping your favorite flair in a sweet little teacup you will better be able to spot your selection goodies at a glance.

I like to keep watches, rings, and chunky bracelets in teacups and then hang my necklaces for display.

How do you keep your jewelry collection tidy and organized?

On another note, if you're nervous about gaining extra pounds this holiday season check out my tips for suriving the holiday season without widening your waistline. 

XO Lauren

      this is my favorite little trend. another great teacup use is to make homemade candles in them. it's very alice in wonderland to have flickering teacups all around the house, and a great gift idea.

      I love to use my jewelry as decor all around my bedroom. Another idea is use a cupcake holder as a jewelry holder! This is where I display my favorite jewelry!

      I usually spend a week in the summer at a beach house with my friend and come home with a ton of empty clam and oyster shells. I never knew what to do with them all, so I set them up around my room where I tend to take off jewlery; my bedstand, next to my light switch, and on my desk. I put earrings and necklaces I take off in them. They work perfectly!

      I have a separated section in my closet where I keep my jewelry and it's really cool because I get to notice them everyday so I can pick one and wear it!

      That's really cute! I keep my jewelry in random pretty containers that I found around the house. My favourite is a glass stand where you would usually put pastries in. :)

      I strung wire across the top of my mirror to hang my ear rings from. For my rings & such I have little chinese pottery pieces. Love the tea cup idea!
