Okay, yes, I’m on a storage kick these days. Have I mentioned that our house is kind of small? With very few surfaces on which to put stuff? I bought a much-needed jewelry box the other day, and when I got it home I realized there was no place to put it. Seriously. The only real surface is our dresser, which is now in the baby’s room serving as a changing table. So I started thinking about alternatives, and came up with an idea for the jewelry frame, above. I found an old frame at the Alameda Flea Market, and bought the other supplies at our local hardware store: 1/2 plywood backing cut to size, hooks and screw eye hooks, a couple screws, 1/4″ wire mesh and wire cutters, stapler, gorilla glue, some scrap molding for the box and white paint.
I started by measuring out the layout, considering the length of the necklaces I had, how many earring hooks I wanted, and where I wanted the mesh screen placed.
Then I screwed in the hooks, staggering the earring hooks and necklace hooks so that they wouldn’t interfere.

that is awesome! I've seen them with just mesh but I think this looks nicer and offers storage for more than just earrings. I will be making this soon!
this has to be the best jewelry frame i have seen yet. thanks so much for sharing. i think i'm going to have to try it out when i get a chance.
thank
This is one of the best jewelry frames I have seen. It’s very beautifully designed. You find enough space to store your jewelry. Thanks for sharing the idea of how to design it. I am surely going to make it soon then share my experience with you.
Great job! As a jewelry designer I'm always looking for new storage ideas for my clients. I've pinned this to my Pinterest and plan on making one in the future! Thanks for posting!
Oh my gosh, this is the best diy jewelry holder ever! It includes every aspect of holding your jewelry, unlike most wall hanging options. LOVE it!!! Can't wait to try it out!!
Oh my. Yours is lovely. I used an antique stand-up frame (no paint). Instead of board, I used a piece of rigid foam. The thin kind with a sticky back. Leaving the backing on, I poked holes the size of my post earrings. Works great and the frame is a great match with my antique dressers. Mesh is a great idea.
Love your idea of using the rigid foam. Can you tell me how thick yours was and where purchased it? Thanks!
Wow. This is exactly what I was looking for. I just moved to a small apartment with zero room for a dresser/storage and I was looking for a creative way to display my jewelry. This is perfect! Thanks for sharing
This is fabulous! It looks so cute
I need a new jewelry storage of some kind, and will definitely give this a go

I am currently working on constructing this as a Christmas gift for my sister. I found that it was difficult to paint after inserting the screws, so I used white spray paint instead of regular paint. Worked like a charm!
certainly going to make this very soon! very neat and stylish!
[...] And since we were talking about displaying jewelry, you might as well frame it. You should first start by measuring the length of the necklaces and decide how many hooks you’re going to need for them all. Your earrings can be displayed the same way. Then make a box, like a painting without the artwork. You can paint it white or any other color you want. Add the little hooks and you’re done.{found on Monaluna}. [...]
