For Post and Dangle Earrings, Necklaces and More!
What you need:
A frame
Spray paint (I used white but any color you want will work of course)
A small dowel rod long enough to fit the frame's width twice
2 Cork board squares (I got mine (4 squares) from AC Moore for under $3)
Cutters
Hot glue gun and glue
Thumb tacks

Before you start make sure that you are working with the mount of the frame facing the direction that you want to hang it up.
1. Spray paint the frame and backing one color. I painted right over the glass, mostly because the backing was stapled onto my frame. But you can paint on the glass or not its up to you. I also spray painted the dowel rod at first to test if I would like it better in white or leave it brown to match the cork. I determined I liked it to match the cork better, but again its up to you.
2. Glue on the cork boards in whatever position you like. I did it in the corners because then I would have room to hang dangle earrings on each rod to cover the empty space. Cut the dowel rods to fit the frame. Then glue on the dowel rods. It doesn't matter if they aren't flush with the edge of the frame, I think it looks a littler more rustic to have it hang over the edge a bit.
Important to make sure you do the cork boards first because they would be hard to get on straight if you had to stick them under the rods.
3. Put thumb tacks in the bottom corners of the frame so you can hand necklaces, you can skip this step if you want to make it just an earring holder. I just stuck the tack into the crease between the sides of the frame, if you do this make sure that you put some hot glue along the frame's edges to keep them from coming apart.
4. Hang on your wall and put on your jewelry! You can stick the posts directly into the cork without taking out the backs! The dangle earrings go on the dowel rods.
5. I hung a nail next to the frame for extra long necklaces so they are all in one place. I also had the thought of putting a mirror in the empty space if your frame was large enough for it.
ENJOY A MORE ORGANIZED WAY TO DISPLAY YOUR JEWELRY!
