My smaller necklaces were all jumbled in a pile and I needed a better way to store them, but I don't have room for a big jewelry box. I was in Michaels over the weekend and all their cork boards were on sale, so I picked up these smaller 6x6" cork tiles and decided to make my own little board to hang my necklaces.
All I used was cork board, a swatch of fabric, ribbon, and a stapler.
1. Cut a square of fabric a little larger than the cork tile.
2. Staple the fabric around the tile on the backside, creating a neatly covered square.
3. Place ribbon pieces across the square in the desired position and then staple them to the back as well.
4. Cut two other pieces of ribbon, staple them to the back, at the top of the tile and tie together in a bow.
5. Hang on the wall (or wherever you please).
Voila! A super easy, super fast solution to my necklace storage problem. It took me all of about ten minutes to make. I just stuck some basic push pins on the cork board to hang my smaller, more delicate necklaces. It's certainly not the fanciest, but it works for the time being. Plus, it always feels good to see what you make be put to good use.
