Okay, yes, I’m on a storage kick these days. Have I mentioned that our house is kind of small? With very few surfaces on which to put stuff? I bought a much-needed jewelry box the other day, and when I got it home I realized there was no place to put it. Seriously. The only real surface is our dresser, which is now in the baby’s room serving as a changing table. So I started thinking about alternatives, and came up with an idea for the jewelry frame, above. I found an old frame at the Alameda Flea Market, and bought the other supplies at our local hardware store: 1/2 plywood backing cut to size, hooks and screw eye hooks, a couple screws, 1/4″ wire mesh and wire cutters, stapler, gorilla glue, some scrap molding for the box and white paint.
I started by measuring out the layout, considering the length of the necklaces I had, how many earring hooks I wanted, and where I wanted the mesh screen placed.
Then I screwed in the hooks, staggering the earring hooks and necklace hooks so that they wouldn’t interfere.
Comments, questions? We'd love to hear from you!

8 years agoThis is so great! I am definitely going to make one for my girlfriend’s birthday! i have a question about screwing in the hooks and eye hooks.. do i need a drill to put them in or is the plywood soft enough for me to just hand screw them in? Sorry, just haven’t made any projects using them before. thanks!
