DIY Jewelry Organizer (Wall Mount)

My wife wanted a way to organize all of her necklaces. I didn't want to spend any money... Here's the result.

We had these old hinges left over from our kitchen remodel. They matched the pallet wood feel nicely.

We used a reciprocating saw to cut through the nails. We made sure to use a heat treated pallet, and removed all the small nails before moving on.

Paint a few random slats to add color and variety. We painted lightly to give it a "distressed' look.

We laid out the pallet wood back in what was supposed to be a "chevron" pattern. It ended up not being right, but still looked pretty cool.

We cheated a bit and used 1/8" ply backer board to hold the pattern in place.

I cut a rabbet on the table saw to hold the back of our cabinet in place.

I mitered the corners of some pallet slats and added chicken wire to make the front door.

We were going to stain the cabinet gray but it didn't look good. We had an old can of spray on clear coat to finish it.

We used hard cut masonry nails as the hooks for her necklaces. Unfortunately they were a little long, so I had to cut each one of them down with the sawzall.

She was thrilled with the finished product. We mounted it on the wall and filled it up. A nice addition to our hallway between the bedroom and bathroom.
