new rings from Target! ($7.99)
fave new bracelets (tutorial on blog!)
i LOVE turquoise!
If you couldn't tell, I have become OBSESSED with DIYs! Youtube and Pinterest are two of my favorite places to find DIYs. This DIY was inspired from a Youtube video and my best friend. She started doing this years ago! This is a fun way to show off your jewelry and keep it nice and organized! I got so tired of dealing with tangled necklaces intertwining with each other because they sat on top of each other on my dresser. Not only did it look really messy, it took up a ton of space! Now, I can look at my jewelry and be happy! This is a great gift idea too!
Supplies (all purchased at my local Target):
Cork board - $8.29 18x22in (SUCH A DEAL and its FRAMED! Why cork boards are so expensive, I will never know)
Tacks/Pins: $1.29x2 (I found these cute black/white pins, and I also bought clear tacks)
Thread of some sort (I had some laying around from when I was obsessed with friendship bracelets)
Jewelry (obvs)
New, cute rings from target - $7.99
TOTAL PRICE: 20.96 (after tax!)
HOW TO:
1. Make sure all your bracelets and necklaces are closed.
2. Sort out necklaces/bracelets/rings in groups. I put separated necklaces by style. If the necklaces were simple and dainty and needed only pin or if the necklaces laid on the neck a bit wider and required two pins. I separated the bracelets and rings by type/style. I grouped them together if they came together or just looked the same.
3. Add pins onto the board in any sort of style you wish! I just hung them vertically. I've seen others do it horizontally and diagonally! Feel free to experiment.
4. For the rings and bracelets that can't just hang off a pin, I simply folded a long strand of thread in half and created a loop, then knotted off the open-ended side.
4. Hang them up!
Feel free to be creative! Decorate it with ribbons/pictures/add your own twist!
Enjoy!
