Easy DIY Necklace Organizer

I am slowly, ever so slowly hopping on the necklace crazy train. I am what I would call an earring girl. I seriously am in love with earrings. I like having short hair so I can see them dangling below my hairline…..do you think that is weird? I love necklaces on other people and when I see them I always want to wear them but when I put on a necklace oftentimes I just don’t think it looks good. My sister Tiffany says I need to focus on the whole outfit not just the necklace when I look in the mirror.

Good advice! So I have been trying to do that and as a result my necklace stash has grown and I am wearing more of them and actually feeling comfortable doing it! Yay! But….they were all clumped together on a couple nails I haphazardly hammered into the backside of my bathroom cupboard. Not cute, they got tangled all the time and I couldn’t see them to remember what I had. NOT a good storage solution. Time for a better solution.

I made this easy diy necklace organizer for cheap-o. It was easy, I think it looks pretty darn spiffy and now I can see my necklaces and they hang tangle free, {insert pleasant sigh here} ahhh.

Here is what you need to make one of your own:

piece of trim
hooks
wall hangers
drill
pliers
spray paint (optional)

You can measure and cut the trim to your desired size or have the hardware store cut it for you.

 I cut my own, see me rocking the dirty hair, no makeup don’t forget your safety glasses look! Awesome!

Don’t you love my power tool look?!? Power tools are FUN! I wish I had more of them 🙂 Someday!

Once you have it cut to the length you want (I cut mine to 24 in) sand the rough edges off then measure where you want the hooks to be and how far apart you want them. Mark where you will drill the holes with a pencil.

 I spaced my hooks only 1 inch apart. Nice and cozy, but it would work great a little further apart too.

Drill holes and then screw in your hooks. I ended up using pliers to twist them in so they would be straight. Pliers are stronger than my fingers. 🙂

I wanted my piece of trim and hooks to be white. If you don’t want your hooks painted, then make sure you spray paint your wood BEFORE you put your hooks in.

After it is dry, screw the wall hangers into the back and hang the darn thing up, get busy stringing up your necklaces on the hooks and sit back and enjoy this cheap and easy project! Good job! Gotta love a useful spifferific project for under $10 bucks!!! For reals!!

What do you think? Wanna go make one?
