I've been toying with the idea of organizing the jewelry I've collected over the years in one single apparatus. Much easier said than done. My first attempt consisted of a plastic mesh found at Michael's in the same aisle as those boxed latch hook projects. I attached a sheet of those to a cabinet where I also store my scarves, hats, and gloves, but it doesn't look appealing, nor do I actually use it. Dangling earrings hang on it just fine, but stud earrings are a pain to remove and attach. I have a few necklaces hanging on the hooks at the top, but it's nothing impressive. I can't even think of including pictures at the moment because it's simply too plain.
So! This next attempt is going to include some prettier aspects so as to encourage me to display it and keep it neat. I perused the web for a few ideas and am planning on combining several smaller projects for one larger jewelry display. Super excited for this, but acquiring all the tools has proven tricky. Without power tools of my own, I have to hunt down a staple gun. I plan on trading my bf a can of spam for his. ;] Next is a frame, probably to be found at discounted price. I'm also going to need cork for stud earring storage, several smaller hooks to use for necklaces, and maybe paint and the like for the frame.
Also, I am officially setting a deadline. I have until midnight on Saturday to have this thing hung and organized. If I fail this mission, well, I fail. At the very least, a deadline will motivate me enough to get it done.
