My jewelry board!
I've wanted this for a while now, because I've gotten a lot of necklaces in my high school career and even though I don't wear them much, I still wanted to keep them. (Right now I have some of the ones my dad and my mom gave me more recently, plus the one Dan gave me, and I cycle through them.) So I came up with this idea!
I started this months ago, and it sat on the floor in front of a bookcase in various stages for weeks and weeks, and when I finally finished it I was so excited! And then I had issues trying to hang it... I was so bummed. So I had Dan sit down with me last night and figure it out. And this is what I got!
To make it, all I did was wait for the right piece of wood to show up at DI, and then I brought it home and sanded it and painted it, cut and mod podged scrapbook paper to the front, mod podged the whole thing, and then Dan helped me put the hooks in the front.
I'm so in love with it. Plus now I get to see my necklaces, all the ones my friends gave me, and the ones my family gave me, and a couple that I made... What was really funny though is that I thought I was a genius when I first came up with the idea, and I was halfway through making it when I came upon this photo on Pinterest:
Excluding the fact that this photo is probably a little more professional than my photos, I felt almost juvenile when I saw these (almost!). I still love mine, but whoever did these (assuming they're handmade) took it to the next level. Darn it! Actually, the biggest thing that I liked about them was how they put the hooks on the bottom, so the necklaces were closer to the wall. Otherwise I really couldn't care, haha!
So that's what I finally finished. Finally!
