I must admit, it's a little embarrassing to call this post a DIY because it was ridiculously easy. Then again, any of the DIY projects I post are going to be super duper easy and won't require 8,000 tools or materials.
PROBLEM: I have lots of big statement necklaces that end up smooshed together, which is not ideal for many reasons.
SOLUTION: Let's make a necklace display to keep them organized and shown off like pieces of art (like I think they are)!
TOOLS: You'll need a cork bulletin board (I got mine for free from the boy.), acrylic paint (Color of your choice. Mine was black. Duh.), paintbrush, and thumbtacks. Shania Twain and Destiny's Child Pandora radio station optional, but I find that it increases productivity and general joy.
METHOD: Place the bulletin board in a safe place with room for moving. If you have little puppy and live in a tiny apartment like me, this can be quite a challenge. Grab a paper plate or something are you willing to discard to place the paint. Then, you just go at it! You can use you hands if you are nostalgic about finger-painting, but if you're a clean freak, I would go with a paintbrush. It's as simple as that!
It took me 30 minutes to completely paint and about 90 minutes to dry. I did one coat because I liked the look of some of the wood and cork showing through. It will give you a rustic look, especially if you don't finish the edges. I couldn't be happier with the outcome!
What do you use for jewelry storage?
