Last year I happened to come across a darling idea by Space 46. I keep a host of links on my computer of projects that I think might come in handy around the house. Well, this weekend — these DIY jewelry holders came in super handy. I {love} my accessories, but they need a little help in staying organized.
Here’s a peek into a corner of our closet, where some of my necklaces are nesting. Then I have some hanging on ‘s’ hooks in front this accordion rack. And, of course, there are some hanging on the closet door knobs. Phew. They’re everywhere!
So, as you can see — they’re everywhere and I definitely needed to consider a cute way to store and even display some these pieces in all of their cuteness. Inspired by My at Space 46, I put my own twist on this {DIY} project and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out.
Let’s round up our supplies:
Wood Plaques, Acrylic Paint, Paint Brushes/Sponges and Knobs
A couple of items not pictured that you might want to have on hand as well would be thee sawtooth hangers to attach to the back of the plaque for hanging and your handy dandy drill. Other than that, you should be set to go. All of the acrylic paint I already had in my crafty stash. The wood plaques were about $1.00 each at Micheal’s and the cabinet knobs varied in price. I bought these at Lowe’s for about $8.00. So, it’s a fairly inexpensive project.
As you can see here, I recruited the help of my wonderful hubby {smile}.
Alrighty, let’s start with drilling our holes…
….and attaching our sawtooth hangers.
Now we’re ready to paint… I didn’t take pictures of this, as I’m pretty sure we all know how that goes {giggle}. After a couple of coats of paint, a little sanding and staining — you’ll attach your knobs and voilá. You now have some fabulous jewelry organization with a little flair.
And there they are hanging up to show off some of my necklaces and bracelets.

What a fabulous, low-cost project that doesn't look it at all! I was standing in front of a display of clearance hardware yesterday wondering what I could do with it and now I know EXACTLY what to do with it. I have seen your projects featured on many of the blogs that I read. I'm so glad your feature on Time to Shine made me finally click over.
All the best,
Claire @ alittlesomethinginthemeantime.blogspot.com

I love them. Such creative ways to showcase and organize our jewelry, and inexpensive. The project is so simple, but the look is so much more than that. I will be doing some of these in my dressing area. Thanks for sharing your inspiration at Sunday's Best.
