Gift to Myself: Jewelry Boards
I've never had a good way to store my jewelry. I don't have a ton, but it always gets tangled because I keep it all together in a box. I know. Devin got me an awesome, yet seriously tangle-able, necklace/bracelet set for Valentine's Day (see above - almost all the way to the left), so I decided to finally fix the problem.
I got two 12" square cork boards, stapled fabric tightly around them, and used push pins to hang all the jewelry. Someday I'll rearrange it so it looks cool and/or makes sense, but for now, I'm just happy that everything is out of the box and not getting tangled.
The cork boards came with double-sided adhesive strips, so that's how I hung them. Hopefully it won't destroy my wall.
This was such a quick and easy project (less than an hour with ironing), and I even have two more cork boards and leftover fabric in case I acquire more jewelry.
Cost:
$1.48 3/4 yd of discounted fabric from the remnants bin
$2.97 2 cork boards (4 for $5.94)
$1.44 100 push pins (I hardly need them all)
$5.89 total
