Whether you have one ring or 30 rings, you’ll find a way to organize, store or display them here on this list of DIY ring holders!
Okay, I can admit it — I have a problem. If I’m honest, I have two problems. First, I am guilty of taking my rings off to make dinner and placing them on the counter. Eek! I know. They could easily fall on the floor or (even worse) in the sink. That is why I am looking to make a ring holder.
My second problem? I love rings. Doesn’t sound like a problem, but when you’ve collected so many rings that you happen upon one and don’t remember buying it, it is a problem!
This is why in addition to a ring holder for the kitchen, I also want to make something to store my rings separate from my other jewelry. Maybe even a way that displays them nicely. This way I can admire my collection!
Anyone else have one of these problems? Well, I can help you out. I looked all over to find the best DIY ring holders, dishes, and displays. I’ve collected them to make the list below and now I just need to decide which ones to make. Take a look and let me know your favorites in the comments.
