DIY Jewelry Organization

Another craft to share-- and this time, it actually serves a purpose. For about the last 6 months my collection of jewelry has been strewn in and around the area of Boyfriend's desk, which is probably fairly annoying for him and means that I never actually wear any of it because I can't find anything. Time to change that!

Originally, I wanted to make a large picture-frame jewelry display like this, but I couldn't find a frame that I liked, and doing projects that involve wire-mesh is difficult when you don't have a hardware store nearby (or a car). Plus, as has been mentioned previously, I am really impatient.

So I proceeded using materials that I had on hand.

Cost: $5.60 (3 wooden craft picture frames for $1/each, 2 packages of "cup hooks" for $1.30/each)

Rating: Excellent. I am kind of obsessed with these.

Comments: I actually already had these frames for some unknown past project that never materialized. The "cup hooks" were really cheap (each package had 6) and they worked fabulously. I covered the frames with some origami paper using ModPodge, then screwed the hooks in. I attached them to the wall using Command Strips (I am increasingly becoming a fan of these guys, especially after reading this blog...girl uses 'em for everything.)
