Fashion is cyclical. We will never get tired of saying it or, at least, we will never get tired of seeing how old trends (those we thought we were never going to wear again) resurface in all their splendor in our closets and, of course, in our looks. Trends such as bell-bottoms, capazo style bags or DIY jewelry, which we talk about today. In fact, a few days ago we told you that self-made rings were causing a sensation on social networks.

A slight glance at the mannequins of the current fashion showcases, the catwalks or the street style itself confirms it: bracelets and necklaces made up of various multicolored beads are once again under the trend label.

Under its 90's look and naïf aspect, this type of costume jewelry is back, one more season, to be part of the summer trends of the moment. These jewels that are characterized by their DIY elaboration and their striking combinations have been bringing color to the most spring and summer looks for two years through their multiple -not to say infinite- combinations. Just look at the latest looks of influencers and celebrities like Gigi Hadid.

Another positive aspect of this type of accessories is that they are very easy to make and it will only take you a few minutes to create them to your liking. Surely, at some school recess, you have created bracelets, pendants or even rings that you have exchanged with your friends. Yes, the well-known friendship bracelets that you still keep in your jewelry box. If you have never followed or practiced this activity you are on the right topic or if, on the contrary, you feel like recreating these pieces that not only suit your preferences and tastes, but are unique items, it is also your topic.

Nowadays, getting beads of different sizes, colors and shapes is extremely easy. Even more so with the advent of Amazon, which allows us to choose and find the pieces that will complete the design you have imagined. The one you're looking forward to wearing as a choker, bracelet or even an anklet; yes, that accessory is also back this season.

This time we are going to talk about beautiful jewelry boxes. The order to find your things quickly is paramount and storing all your belongings in a useful and simple way is very important to take advantage of the space at home. Therefore, we are going to see several examples and tricks to store your jewelry that you can do easily and with a beautiful result and for all tastes.

The ice box

Let's start with the most original jewelry boxes: ice boxes as jewelry boxes! It is a very easy way to organize your rings or earrings. In addition, there are coolers of multiple colors and very creative shapes that can look great.

Egg cooler

This is a similar solution to the ice chest. You can use the original cardboard ones and join them together to compartmentalize your drawers or use them as a mold to make one like this with clay or plaster.

Fimo bowls

An easy way to make a colorful and fun bowl is to use Fimo and give it this creative marbled look. Simple and very pretty.

Three tiers of plates

This structure that you can make with plates of different sizes and wood can be used both for cupcakes or plants and to store your jewelry. Plus, you'll use more space vertically if you have a lot of pieces to arrange.

Cement cones

Cement is one of our favorite materials and we were not going to miss this opportunity to show you these beautiful pyramids with gold foil details.

Triangular wooden stand

Clean geometric shapes and natural materials enhance the pieces you put on them, so these wooden structures are perfect to show off the prettiest chains you have.

The mural of branches

Another way to bring in nature in a more organic way is to make a mural with branches like this one and make a composition that decorates your wall as well as arranges your jewelry. Easy and beautiful! Tutorial: How to make a jewelry box with branches
