diy jewelry organizer

i've got something to share today: my first completed pinterest project!

i get a lot of inspiration from pinterest, as i've said before,

but this is the very first time the inspiration lead to action.

and i'm pretty excited about it!

here's the pin i saw and fell in love with:

fellow blogger aunt peaches created this beauty (and the link has an awesome

how-to which i followed), and i LOVED the idea.

i'm one of those girls that loves organization, and was using a fishing

tackle box kind of thing for my jewelry. it didn't take long for it to be a

disorganized mess and i had to untie knots in my necklaces anytime

i wanted to actually wear them. not so fun.

but! with the help of pinterest + the aforementioned blog, i made this baby:

and i'm on a cute + functional high right now.

for anyone interested: i found an old plastic garage sale sign,

covered it in burlap, and used a stencil to paint the charcoal gray chevrons.

i then framed it in a large picture frame i had painted light blue,

and added drapery hooks (found mine for about $2 / 10 at joanne fabrics)

for the necklaces, and a metal mesh pencil bin locker organizer

(random? $3 at target in the office section) for bracelets + earrings.

you should try one for yourself!
