DIY necklace holder

I'm constantly looking for cheap and easy ways to make something that's both functional and aesthetic but mostly functional.
Since it seems like lately the non-sewing projects I've been doing has been pertaining to my jewelry collection, I figured I'd continue with that trend. Today I brought you a simple, simple diy for a necklace holder. It's so easy and so cheap. It only cost me about 3 bucks to whip it together. So without further ado, I'll commence.

The only things you will need are 1-3 knobs (or how many ever you like), a piece of wood, and a drill, oh and paint is optional.


I predrilled my holes before painting, but you can do it the other way around. Totally up to you because the holes won't be noticeable after you put your knobs on.
*Here's a bit of advice for drilling: with my drill bits I have a gauge, I heavily advise using your screw with the gauge so you don't drill too large of a hole. I say this because my knobs didn't state what diameter screws I had (I purchased them from a stuffed warehouse) and I almost drilled holes that were way too large. Second piece of advice: get knobs that screw in from the back so that you don't have to saw off any excess or scratch up your walls.*
Next attach your knobs.


Lastly hang and use!!! I used the circle picture hangers that you just press into the back. But you can drill a hole, use mounting tape or whatever other method you usually use.




This project literally takes a couple of minutes to complete and is not exhausting to make. So make one or two or a few!!

DIY jewelry display

Let me just say this is one of the most functional things I've made in quite some time.
My vintage earring and stud collection is somehow multiplying exponentially. And I totally needed a new spot to house them because my tree earring holder is only meant for hanging earrings and my bird ring holder can only hold a couple of pairs of posts. So while at my fave thrift store yesterday, an idea hit me HARD. I picked up 3 similar vintage Japanese stoneware saucers and 3 vintage brass candleholders. I turned the candleholders upside and stacked the saucers on top of them and glued them all together and created a tiered jewelry stand.


I thought about painting the brass candlesticks and the plates but decided against. I think it looks uniform enough. Although the plates were all from different companies, they all have the same speckled cream color with light tan border and all have a very similar shape; and the top two candleholders have similar shape, color and can be unscrewed. So I'm content!
Speaking of them being unscrewed: that's part of the functionality!

It can be used as a two tier holder with a ring holder on the side.

Or it can be used as three seperate displays altogether. And the wonderful thing about the candlholders is that either candleholder can be screwed into either base and still work fine.
This was a much needed, much awaited project that took no time to make.
Oh yeah, I added this touch:

The base is a candle holder as well. It has feet on it that gives it a little height.

I can't wait to make some more rings and earrings now!!
