I’ll be honest with you, I have a little bit of a problem with jewelry. I just can’t seem to resist it! I decided to create a jewelry board so I can see all of my favorites in one place. This way, as the seasons change I can rotate my current “collection” accordingly.
Here’s what you will need:
Cork board squares or framed message board
Fabric
Staple gun
Clamps or clips and push pins
Earrings, buttons, game pieces, mini knobs, etc.
Glue
Card stock or scrapbook paper
Scissors
I started with 2 cork board squares to achieve the thickness I wanted for the board (without a frame). I covered the board with linen fabric, including 1 extra inch to fold over the back of the board then stapled it with the gun. Metal clips were added at the top of the board to act as hangers for the necklaces. I glued vintage upholstery tacks* (they look like giant flowers) onto the push pins to use as hanging hooks and to add some visual interest. Last of all, I used some pretty scrapbook paper cut outs as my earring holders.
I love how it turned out. It keeps my jewelry organized and out where I can see it, plus it’s a fun piece of DIY jewelry art! How do you keep your jewelry organized?
*You could use earrings, buttons, game pieces or even knobs on the push pins, depending on what style you want for your jewelry board.
