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...

Recycling Denim

How many pairs of jeans do you own that are too old or don't fit? I know I have quite a few.  What to do with those old jeans? Well, there are many options.  You can make them into something new or you can donate them to the fantastic organization, Cotton.From Blue to Green. They take your old denim and turn it into insulation for houses built for Habitat for Humanity.  Check out a few of my favorite denim rehabs below!
