I found this old frame on the side of the road a few months ago before we moved. I was originally going to use it for my DIY Chalkboard project, but the canvas was too bumpy for the chalkboard surface.
I ripped out the painting (sorry Miss Artist. It actually had a note on the back. Someone gave it to their Grandmother as a Christmas gift in the 1960s. Too funny.) and spray painted the frame white. Then I used pushpins to determine how far apart to put my hooks.
Then I inserted the hooks. This took a lot of…. determination. There was a thick plastic-like coating on the frame (it wasn’t hardwood) so I needed to use some extra elbow grease to put the hooks in. (A rubber mallet and a pair of pliers also helped.)
The frame already had the frame mounting hardware, so I just need to put it on the wall and add my necklaces.
This project cost me a cool $0.00, since I already had the spray paint and hooks and I found the frame on the side of the road. With some garage sale luck though, you might be able to pull off this project for somewhere around $6-8.
How do you keep your necklaces from getting tangled up?
The sort answer is I don’t…and I have no patience for getting the knots out either…lol This is a great idea! I might need one of these to hang up all the necklaces I’ve been making lately…
So cute!
I’ve been wanting to make one of these for a while. Yours is super cute!!
Haha! I was in the same boat! I’m too tired of breaking necklaces when I try to untangle them. No more!
so cute! this is way better than how i store my necklaces…in a box all jumbled together. 🙂
i would love for you to come link up this or any other amazing project at my creativity party going on right now!
