    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    Puppies are irresistible. We fall in love with their big eyes, little button noses, fluffy tails, and clumsy paws. And yet, like any pet, puppies grow up and turn into dogs. Some breeds, like the Old English Sheepdog or Great Dane, will grow to become larger in size than most people. But not all dogs are destined to become giants. There are some breeds that stay small in size even when they're fully grown. You may want a forever puppy if you are used to smaller animals. Maybe you have a small apartment or just want a canine companion that you can easily carry along with you anywhere you go. Small dogs are also great for families with young children or those of senior age who are best matched with a breed they can physically handle. Fortunately, some specialty dog breeds are mixed to look like puppies throughout their entire lives—and they are sure to melt your heart the second you lay your eyes on them.

Necklaces, rings, earrings—these precious, and often pricey, items can get lost or tangled so easily. One way to ensure your valuable baubles stay safe (and neat) is by learning how to organize your jewelry. Instead of turning over every pillow on your couch in search of a lost piece, discover how to organize your jewelry effectively using our decorative and creative DIYs.

Earrings are arguably the easiest pieces of jewelry to lose, and if one goes missing, you might as well have lost the entire pair. We're showing you multiple ways to organize your earrings to ensure they stay exactly where you need them to, while seamlessly fitting in with your décor in the process. Whether you prefer subtle post-backed, statement drops, or dangling earrings, each will find an organized home thanks to our DIYs. And our organization systems use multiple mediums, for every level of crafter. If you're looking for a way to organize your favorite pearls, our wooden triangular earring holder is a must-make. Easily sourced materials, which include birch plywood and superglue, come together in seven simple steps for a quick and stylish earring organizer. Add some extra oomph to the structure by personalizing it with acrylic paint in the color of your choice. If you can't seem to keep track of your rings, ring holders are the way to go. The ones we're showing you how to make are molded out of clay and are simply adorable. Or, for a painting DIY, you can make the trinket trays pictured here by painting small ceramic dishes that organize oversized earrings, rings, and bracelets beautifully.

From unruly necklaces to dainty rings, discover how to organize your jewelry with some of our favorite DIYs.

Dowel Hanger

A thin wooden dowel mounted inside a closet or cabinet door using cup hooks is the foundation of a simply chic jewelry organizer. Coat the dowel with semigloss paint. Suspend S hooks from the rod (the texture of the dried semigloss paint will help keep the hooks from sliding), and hang necklaces—and bracelets and rings, if you like—from the hooks for dazzling order.

Lidless Box

pd103555_0108_jewelbox.jpg

Here's a space-saving trick: Opt for an open-face box that you can mount right onto the wall. When a shadow box is unavailable, any well-chosen crate, bin, or orphaned drawer can be retrofitted with a variety of hooks and knobs, turning your earrings and chains into objets d'art. Small decorative bowls perched on the box's lower ledge corral rings, pins, and brooches and complete the charming trinket tableau.
