DIY Jewelry Organizer


I've had a bowl of mixed jewelry pieces for far too long. After endless searching for the perfect way to organize/display my jewelry, I took matters into my own hands. Inspired by the stencil and a piece of wood.Voila!




Materials: 
  1. Piece of wood
  2. Stain
  3. Rag/paint brush
  4. Stencil
  5. Acrylic Craft paint
  6. Foam dobber
  7. Drill
  8. Hooks
  9. Embroidery thread or hemp 


12"x4" piece of pine

Stain of your liking 

Sand in circular motion & round corners

Add stain with paint brush or rag- wipe off and let to dry to your preferred darkness

Add stencil with craft paint. I used Antique Gold. 


 Drill holes across the top (every 1/2")

Reinforce back if wood isn't thick enough for your hooks. 
Marking from center, 3" apart from one another. Second row 1" below and 1 1/2" over (3" apart).  Screw in hooks. You can pre-drill holes which makes this easier. 


                               
                                    Thread/hemp woven in and out loosely for earrings. Reinforced back with wall hangers
