DIY Jewelry Organizer
At some point I was in need of a quick jewelry organizer and threw this together in about 30 minutes. I was low on space and decided to make something I could hang up.Finally! Another use for all those old calendars you may have laying around.
Materials
- Chosen picture - an old calendar picture is perfect, I used some extra paper to help spruce up the edges.
- Cardboard
- Bonus: you still have the cardboard that came with the picture and now don't have to cut anything.
- Various sized wood clothespins
- Scissors
- Glue - I used a glue stick and a strong glue for attaching the clothespins
Optional
Something to punch holes with - I used a small crochet hook
Something to hang jewelry holder from the wall; I used 2 large clothespins and hung it from my calendar
Glue Picture to Cardboard
If you like you can make this a collage or keep it simple and pick just one picture. Cut paper as needed. I used some scrap booking paper to help cover the hole the comes in the calendar page and to make the edges look a little nicer.
Poke Holes
Use your tool of choice (you can use scissors) to punch holes into the cardboard to hold your earrings. I made a pattern to accentuate parts of my chosen background with two holes about 1 centimeter apart; I used a small crochet hook to get a nice round hole.
Glue Clothespins
I used various sized clothespins glued mostly around the outside of my poster to hold necklaces and bracelets.
Attach Hanger of Choice
After letting your clothespins dry to the board you can decide how to hang it. I just used two clothespins on the back and hung this from my calendar. You can easily use a string to hang this up as well.
Finish
Hang and add jewelry.
