No More Pain in the Neck for Necklaces!!


I was talking with my neighbor, Kathleen, last week and we were talking jewelry...I told her how I had created a clever way to store my jewelry, but then she wanted to see it!! That would mean taking a trip through my horribly messy bedroom to get to my bathroom to show her. So last night I saw her again and she said "why don't you just email me a picture of it". What a great idea!! And, as long as I had the picture I might as well post it on my blog, right!?!?!

These were really easy to make. I bought 4 12x12 "Scrapbook" Frames (I bought mine at Roberts and they were $2 or $3 a piece - sorry I can't remember). I bought 4 coordinating pieces of scrapbooking paper (purchased at $.50 per sheet). Wal-mart sales cork board in 12x12 pieces in a package of 4 for $5. All you have to do is take out the glass/plastic from the picture frames. Glue the paper onto the cork board using stick glue. Assemble together and use push pins to hang up your necklaces and hoop earrings. To make all four it cost me under $20!!

Simple and inexpensive...could make a great Christmas gift for any woman in your life young or old!! And now no one needs to see my messy bedroom!!

Those are really cute. My sisters and I make something similar. It's great to not have tangled necklaces..
