Unconventional Jewelry Displays

I have been looking for a way to hold and display my jewelry that was both beautiful and functional. Right now, I have all of my jewelry tangled up in an ugly box and it just isn't working out for me or them. After doing a little research, I found so many different ideas that now I can't decide what I should do! You can find many of these items in your closet, at thrift stores, flea markets, eBay, Etsy or just right of outside of your home. Below are some of my favorites. I think I need some more jewelry...
