I am not much of a Do-it-Yourself person. I wish I was. But, honestly my schedule is nuts and when I am not working or blogging I love to just relax and do very little.
However, my collection of necklaces was getting totally out of control and tangled on the funky Umbra holder I had.
One night, while surfing Pinterest I came across a variety of ideas that inspired me to take on a project to create something sturdy, cool looking, and functional.
DIY Necklace Organizer
Step #1: Pick a location in your bedroom that can hold the organizer and get the dimensions
Step #2: Head to your nearest antique shop/thrift store/hardware store and pick up an assortment of drawer pulls. I got mine at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Awesome selection – 9 drawer pulls for $11.00! So inexpensive.
Step #3: Find a board you want to use, or go to a hardware or craft store and purchase one. Get hanging hardward for the board if it does not come with it. Mine is from Michael’s.
Step #4: Paint it the colour you want. I used craft store White Glossy Acrylic Paint.
Step #5: Mark our spots for drawer pulls
Step #6: Drill holes for drawer pulls
Step #7: Attach hanging hardware
Step #8: Attach drawer pulls
Step #9: Hang on the wall
Step #10: Fill it with all of your amazing necklaces!
I was really happy with the outcome. The organizer looks great, is functional and my necklaces are spaced out, easy to find and untangled.
This project was easy, fun and a wonderful creative outlet.
That turned super cute! I have a jewelry box that keeps my necklaces in order, but my earrings are a mess. I’m looking for a good DIY project for earrings.

Super cute!!!! I want to make something similar but to serve as a towel rack.
Great idea Jen. This would totally work as a towel rack!

So easy to find (the necklace you want for the day), and attractive too!
Doesn’t everyone need one of these? And it looks great, too – great idea!
I really like this!!! It is fun and very effective. I would definitely want to do some for me and for my sisters. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I love Pinterest!
So clever – I love it! I could use one of these in my closet. May a “his and hers” – one for my necklaces and one for his neckties.

I am so stealing this idea. I like that you used a variety of drawer pulls. very cool.
Great idea! May have to try making one of these for my sister for Christmas. Thanks for the great idea!
I love this project! It looks so unique!
This is very very cool! You are very crafty! Me, not so much lol Thanks for the idea though… I may steal it from you!
Love this!!! I am going to show my daughter tonight, see if she would like one for her room.
I love this!! i have a bunch of necklaces sitting in shoeboxes. It’s high time I organize them.
I love this! I saw something simlar quite a while back and I needed a reminder that this is one of those things on my to do list. I currently have everying hanging on either side of a dresser mirror and it is beyond frustrating to pull everything off to get to one necklace. Great idea!
Love it. Very Shabby Chic look!
This is very cute, and easy enough that I may be able to pull it off without my husband’s help!
So cool! I wonder if I could make one. LOL!
