The supplies for this craft idea have been sitting on my studio table for a couple months now. I wanted to find a way to keep some of the necklaces I've made safe instead of twisting them up and keeping them in one of those jewelry folder things. So I thought about making a hanging jewelry holder to place on my studio wall. The best part about this project is that it only cost me $3.00 to make! The knobs were on Clearance at Michael's Craft Store. The wooden board was only $1. I found a brand new, finished piece of baseboard molding that I got from the Habitat for Humanity Resale Store. The perk? No sanding, cutting or painting needed to be done. I actually went in the store looking for cabinet doors, and saw this beauty and remembered this project idea.
Now a word of advice to anyone that wants to try this project---measure it first! Don't laugh at my knobs for being a little uneven. I thought I could screw the first knob in and measure the next hole as I go. I complained to my husband about my knobs not being straight and he asked me why I didn't measure a straight line on the back and use a pencil to mark where I wanted all the holes to go. Hmm...that would have made more sense. But, I'm right-brained! I honestly don't think that way. (And I can't hold a ruler straight to save my life!)
I'm happy with my jewelry holder. I'm thinking of adding hooks to the bottom of the board to add more hanging room for necklaces. Always improving ideas.
