USING ODD CUPS AND SAUCERS TO STORE JEWELRY

As a teacher, I have gotten my fair share of mugs during Teacher's Day and other school occasions.  As these were given as single pieces, the collection I have is assorted.  While browsing through a website for home organisation, I got the idea to use these mugs to store jewellery.

Stylish Jewelry Storage
Orphaned teacups and saucers are perfect vessels for sorting jewelry, and, when arranged in a velvet-lined drawer, they give you an easy-to-scan bird's-eye view of your bijoux. To set it up, measure the height of the drawer's side (not the front), then gather dishware that's slightly shorter. Line the drawer with velvet or felt to prevent rattling and sliding, then position the porcelain. Hook drop earrings on rims of cups, nestle necklaces within them, and stash chunkier beads and bangles on individual saucers.
