My Favorite (Jewelry Display) Project Yet!

Remember a while back when I posted about my jewelry storage bench? Well it turns out that 1) my collection is growing faster than a family of bunnies and 2) necklaces easily tangle when kept in small dishes.

Until this past week I've had my necklaces hanging on a cork pin-board that was leaning against my bedroom wall. That was, until inspiration struck...

It all started with this fantastic DIY artwork I spotted on Pinterest and followed back to Virginia & Charlie. 

I've had this idea in the back of my mind for a bit, planning to eventually re-create it for my spare bedroom. But then, something better happened! Somehow, it mixed with all the other ideas I'd stored back there including my need/want for additional jewelry storage and I hit DIY gold! 

Check out my new jewelry board! Ta-Da!

I started with a plain cork board and painted it gray with some leftover wall paint that I had. After two coats I used some t-shirt puff paint to draw on my design. 

Initially I was afraid I wouldn't be able to free-hand paint a pattern but I practiced a couple times with a pen and paper and then moved to a sharpie on wax paper the size of my board so I could get a hang on the sizes and overall layout of the pattern.

Once everything was said and done, all I needed to do was put it up and hang the jewelry up with push pins..

Enjoy!
