Jewelry Box...or Board

Is it worth crediting Pinterest for inspiring ideas when I have no idea who the original post came from? Probably not, but nonetheless, my wife got this idea from someone on Pinterest. It's basically a jewelry board for easy access to her most frequently used jewelry. She decided to make one for her necklaces and bracelets, and another for her earrings.


Both boards use picture frames that have been tucked away for awhile. But of course, she wanted them the same color and she wanted them turquoise. For the larger board, she took an old packing box and used the cardboard to place behind the frame. Before putting the cardboard in, she wrapped it in some simple fabric she already had on hand. Then she stuck some fat pins into the cardboard to hang her bracelets on.


My wife has a thing for knobs. I have a feeling it's not just my wife, but she can't resist purchasing a unique or especially pretty knob when she comes across one. The knobs are placed through six holes she drilled into the bottom of the picture frame. Here are the six she chose to use.


And here's a close-up of the smaller frame for earrings. She used cardboard and a canvas-like fabric for the back, and then added some little screw-in hooks and wire from a picture hanging kit for the earrings to hang on.


Of course now she'll need to figure out where to put the myriad of expensive jewelry and diamonds I bestow upon her regularly. :)
