DIY Necklace Holder


As I was confined to our basement with a sick dog who can't navigate stairs, I decided to work on my latest DIY project, a holder for my necklaces.  Thanks to the lovely, One Fabulous Mom, I love costume jewelry.  It all started when OFM hosted a giveaway of a Banana Republic gift card that was to be used on accessories only.  I'm a simple girl and up to that point, I hadn't even dreamed of wearing bright jewelry to accessorize.  All it took was one $10 purchase and I was officially hooked.

I spend very little on accessories.  Most of the necklaces on this board where purchased from Target, Old Navy, Forever 21 and Loft.  Stella and Dot also made the board but only because I hosted a party.

This board is made from a simple cork board purchased from Staples.  I planned to staple the white fabric I had on hand to the back of the frame but ended up gluing it because of a stapler malfunction.  It may not last with the glue but it'll work for now.  I also wanted to add a small decorative element to the board so I painted the pink strip on the bottom with acrylic paint.  Voilá!
