I've been wanting to show you my awesome necklace organizer/holder! It's totally easy to make, and cheap too!
Why did I make my own? Well, I have tons of necklaces squirreled away in different spots. If I don't see them, I won't wear them. You know that old saying, "Out of sight, out of mind."? Yep. Totally true in this situation. I needed to find a way to hang them all together where I can see them. This way, I'll actually wear them, and now I know what I don't have, so the next time I'm out shopping I can pick up something to go with that new darling outfit.
Like we really need a reason to make a necklace holder, right? ;) But in case you do, let's just say this will save you time and money in the long run so you won't wind up with 3 necklaces to match the outfit you wear once a year and nothing to match the outfits you wear all the time (office wear, those Date Night little numbers you look smoking hot in, etc.) Plus you'll always look fabulously accessorized!
Like you, I've seen lots of cute and different ways to hang up and display necklaces. I've tried out quite of few of these ideas too. I just wasn't excited about necklaces in picture frames. I have more than 4 necklaces, and not enough wall space to display all those frames (or the effort to hunt down nice big picture frames for cheap). I've tried using hangers, and even put necklaces on those over the door storage hooks. The knobs on a shelf are cute, but once again, I'd have to use more than one set.
I must have mentioned it a few times, cause my sister Natalie came up with the fabulous idea to using a regular ol' trellis from the hardware store. At first, I was like, "Nah.. It's not going to be cute at all." I just couldn't picture it. I was thinking a trellis is some rough, splintery wood that'll take way too much work to sand down. But one day, she walked in with this cute white plastic trellis, and said here, go for it!
This trellis came in the standard 12 feet. I cut a couple inches off the top with a my trusty folding hack saw. I probably should have measured, but I just eyeballed it, and cut some off, then propped it against the wall, It wasn't quite right so I cut a little bit more off. The second time around it fit, so I was done. The plastic was really easy to cut. I could have used a really sharp stake knife and sawed through it too. I have mine from floor to ceiling. I used a couple small nails here and there to attach it to the wall.
The best thing about it? it fits behind the closet door! Totally low profile and right next to all my clothes. I can stand there and pick something out.
Natalie randomly attached lots of Command mini clear hooks to the trellis for me. I used to have more hooks attached, but a couple popped off during a move. I haven't gotten around to putting more on.
Yes, I do have tons more necklaces that aren't hung up. Then there's the antique jewelry box with my stash of pearls and all the other pretty things
