Crib Spring Jewelry Organizer

I've had this crazy idea in the back of my mind for a while, but last night I finally got off my butt and got to work on it!  You see, I had a dirty, messy secret hiding in this box:

Sure, it's a nice jewelry box with lots of compartments for separating and organizing my Bling, but it became a dumping ground YEARS ago that then became too overwhelming to tame.  Enter this crazy idea:

What is that?  It's the spring from the bottom of my son's old crib!  Remember the headboard I made with it?  Well, I'm slowly working my way around using the rest!  I hung it on the wall in my closet, got a bunch of "S" hooks from the hardware store and....

...I now have a huge jewelry organizer!

I also picked up a few pegboard wire baskets and hung them with "S" hooks to store my pins, pendants, and post-earrings.

 It's so nice to actually SEE what I have all in one place!

Plus, I still have room for more!  Ha Ha!

Do you have an old crib spring sitting in your garage or basement?  

Now you know what to do with it!
