I have had this idea for a long time: a jewelry organizer made entirely of felted wool. Even though I’ve been thinking about it for a while, I never actually sat down to make it… until yesterday!
I decided to start with the simplest version, as I actually have multiple ideas for similar jewellery organizers. This one is a felted “booklet” with two pages where you can freely place your earrings – I created this one mostly for my stud earrings.
Solving a Messy Problem
While it a simple object, I am really happy of how it turned out because it solved a real problem for me. Before this, my stud earrings were just sitting at the bottom of a drawer in a big mess. Now, they have a home, and the whole thing looks pretty neat!
The Process: Wet Felting & Needle Felting
I filmed a video of the entire process for you. It covers everything from the initial wet felting of the booklet to the final decorative touch: needle felting a little swan flying on the cover. It’s nothing too fancy, just a simple, beautiful trial that worked.
More Ideas to Come
This was just my first version, and I already have many more ideas for the future. I want to create more organizers for:
- Necklaces and bracelets
- Rings
- Different types of earrings (like hoops or hooks)
These will be a little more challenging to make, but that’s exactly what is interesting to me: there is something magical in being able to transform a fluff of wool into something useful.
Did this earring organizer make you want to try and make your own? If so, I am genuinely curious to see what you make 🙂
If you do run into issues, please send me pictures of your progress! I might make a ‘proper’ tutorial in the future if there is interest. 🙂
