Jewelry Frame

Yesterday's "Declutter to do" was sort through jewelry, so after I did that I decided to make a pretty way to keep my jewelry organized. Here's what I came up with:








But it seems that I still have too much jewelry, I guess I need to make a bigger frame ;) But isn't it great, not only do I now have a piece of art but I can keep my necklaces from getting tangled in a drawer and I can always see what I have so I don't end up with duplicates.





 Instructions for making your own jewelry frame:
-First decided what you want to hang your jewelry on, options include: cork board, canvas, plywood, the wall or a piece of card board like I have used here.
-Next you can decorate it, I painted mine but you can cover it with fabric or leave it bare too.
-The next step depends on what you used for your base, since I used cardboard I was able to use small carpet tacks to hang my necklaces on. But if you use a cork board you can just use thumb tacks. If you paint directly on to the wall I'd use nails, but I suppose tacks would work as well. They also sell little hooks that screw into the wall that you could use. It just depends if you care about holes in your wall, my husband doesn't like when I put hundreds of holes in the wall, plus we don't plan on living here forever and the next owner may not like peacock feathers painted on the wall.
-So after you put in your tacks or nails you can hang your jewelry and ta dah you have a pretty way to display your jewelry.
