Jewlery Holders: Jewelry, jewelry everywhere!

Pin Holder
Necklaces, bracelets, rings, bits and pieces
Post earrings, hanging earrings, silver necklaces, gold necklaces, scarves
I have a lot of jewelry.  Most of it is not valuable, but I wear jewelry alot and even though I have a lot, I find myself looking for more!  I used to have it in plastic boxes, but the necklaces would get tangled and it was difficult to find just what I was looking for.  Sooo, I found some jewelry holder ideas online and decided to make a few of my own.  Of course, I found some supplies at the Goodwill.  One small picture frame to use for the post earrings, one long picture frame to use for the hanging pieces, and a canvas to use for the pins.  While I was at Goodwill, I also found some amazing things to use as jewelry holders.  I think the one is a cd case but it now houses all my hanging earrings.  I found 4 other metal things ( I don't know what they are supposed to be!) and they are holding my scarves, and silver and gold necklaces.  I hung several of these jewelry/scarf holders on the wall.  The one that I made for my necklaces was to heavy so it currently resides on a shelf in my closet.  I feel like I could hang it up, if I got Mike to do it, but it's fine where it is for now.  I also still need to hang up the pin one. 

Post earring holder:  Took out picture and glass from the frame.  Stapled window screen to the frame.  Trimmed the frame edge with some black leather flower trim.  Put the earrings in!

Peg board holder:  Took out picture and glass from frame.  Cut peg board to fit inside the frame.  Painted the peg board black.  Found two decorative knobs and a handle and screwed them to the board.   Hung bracelets on the knobs and necklacees on the handle.  Also used a few pegboard hooks for the rings and extra necklaces.  The little plastic container holds necklace pieces that didn't fit on chains.  This box used to hold nails.  I used goo gone to get rid of the label.  Washed it up.  Punched two holes in it.  Used gold brads that I painted silver to hold it in place on the peg board.  

These are not difficult projects and a lot of fun!
