Wall Mount Jewelry Organizer

I have to admit I am your typical love to shop, shoe-a-holic, handbag addict and accessory junkie type of gal.... what can I say shiny things make me smile :} lol  I use to store all my accessories in a drawer in baskets to have them somewhat organized, but I got so tired of having to rummage through everything to get to what I wanted to wear! So today I decided to make a Jewelry organizer that I could mount on the wall. If you're interested in making one here are some of the supplies you will need....I have to warn you though this project is not hard...it just takes PATIENCE! lol

Fabric of your choice ( I used indoor outdoor fabric) for durability....Decorative Trim ...A piece of wood 2ft X 2ft....Staple gun.....Dowel rods cut to 2ft pieces.....white spray paint for dowel rods....hooks in various sizes..... Plastic gutter grates (not sure exactly what they are called).......small screws.....glue gun....Foam core board....hammer and drill.

Take the Plastic gutter and bend one side in half so it would have a lip to hang the earrings.

1) First step is cutting the fabric to the size of the board with a 3inch allowance. 2) Spray the board with the adhesive 3) Place the fabric on to the tacky side then turn it over so the excess fabric can be stapled with a staple gun.(hammer down staples that are raised) 4) cut the foam core to size and use the glue gun to adhere the foam core board to the back of panel. (this will cover the staples and also allow the board to be thicker without weighing it down....plus it will keep the screws from sticking out of the board in the back.) 5) take a ruler or yardstick and measure the distance you would like each hook to be....and the distance the earring holders will be. (Take into consideration the length of your longest earrings)

Starting from the top...glue in place then screw in the plastic gutter pieces....then the hooks in the various spots you would like it to be. (I didn't have a drill.... so what I used to make holes so I could screw in the hooks easier is a screw and an electric screw driver)

This is the finished product!

This is what I had Before!

This is After!!!! What a difference!!!! :))

Now I can appreciate all my shiny baubles! lol Getting dressed and deciding what goes with what will be so much easier! Even though it was time consuming it was all worth the work! Now....what to wear tomorrow....hmmmm.....lol
