Why I Built This Jewelry Organizer
I live in a rental and am not able to hang things on the wall but needed a place to organize my jewelry so my necklaces weren't constantly tangled up. I came up with this countertop organizer for all the pretty little things and it has made picking out my jewelry for the day so much more fun! After building it, I have decided to build more to give as gifts.
How I Built This Project
Here's how I built this jewelry organizer using 1x4 boards, some 1x2s and pegboard - all scrap wood I had leftover from various projects!
Building Tips
- I predrilled the cup hook holes before staining and adding the back. Make sure you don't go all the way through the top when pre-drilling.
- I used a scrap piece of foam board, wrapped it in burlap(taped it) and set it in the bottom section for stud earring storage.
- The enclosed storage at the bottom is perfect for a little plant or other accessories.
- This plan is easy to modify for size, add shelves, add a dowel for bracelet or watch storage, paint and stain to customize. Lot's of options with this one!
