We took a trip to the flea market today and found lots of goodies. I bought 2 of these cheap, gold frames and they were 25 % off. We stopped by the hardware store and got more spray paint, dover white. I don't know why I only buy one at a time !
Step 1: Prime with Kilz and paint ( I used dover white)
I decided to make this a necklace holder about this time so I had to find some way to attach hooks to it. I wish I could remember where I saw this so I could link to it but I have no idea :( Oh yeah, and I didn't want to make another trip out so I had to find some way to "make it work".
Step 3: Cut boards the width of the frame minus 1/2" each side.
Step 4: Attach boards to the back of frame with 3/4" brads and a few staples.
Step 5: I used tenter hooks because that's what I had on hand and staggered them across the frame.
Step 6: Hot glue a sawtooth hanger on the back.
I hung it in my bedroom and filled it up really quickly. It holds about 16 necklaces and I have a lot more so I will be finishing the second one exactly the same way and hanging it beside this one. The top looked empty so I stuck a tassel on it..............

Love the shape to this frame, Tammy! What a great idea to use this for jewelry! Love the tassel touch at the top.
That's really clever! I know I'm always surprised by the jewelry hidden away in drawers. Smart.
Wonderful idea! I need to do this for my DDs.
Be sure to visit AtticMag this week and see a tour of my home.

I think I need to invest in some spray paint and get busy!
What a wonderful idea for storing your jewelry! So very clever and it's not only practical but it's also pretty!

You never cease to amaze me! That is so pretty!
Two will be twice as nice!
You are definitely the most creative one! This looks great!
Be a sweetie,

I love the shape of that frame too, and of course it's so much better painted! Cute jewelry holder.
what a great project...wow.I love finding blogs that I have never seen and be wowed!
What a fabulous use for an old frame - pretty and useful! Leigh
Tammy, I just love how you go get yourself and idea and then make it happen!
Wow! It looks fantastic. I love it.
This turned out so cute! I think I may need to make one of these myself...
clever idea...looks lovely in your beautiful room (love the stripes)
I love this Tammy. I may have to steal your idea. I'd love to update my walk-in closet with some pretty and functional storage ideas and this would be perfect.
Great imagination and repurposing! I love when something is given a totally different life. Looks great where you've hung it. Great job!

Um....that's a fantastic room you have that in. The paint on the wall if gorgeous and the tree art is wonderfully unique. This diy project really made a great addition to the space.
That looks terrific. So much better than the thumbtacks I have mine hanging on in my closet.
I need vision I tell you vision. I haven't had any lately! That's why I love visiting you.

What a beautiful way to display your jewelry. I love your stripped walls.
This is beautiful and SO creative !! And, because I've come to know your love for tassels and embellishments, your tassel at the top is perfect and very fitting. Thanks for sharing, Becca
tammy! you are sooo clever...i absolutely LOVE what you did with your finds...
:)

Thanks ya'll, it is really easy. You can do it !
I love this idea, I need to do something like this. My necklaces are piling up and I have no where else to hang them!
Beautiful! I have to do this, way better than the jewelry tree's that clutter up your counter, that are way too short, and don't hold enough. Thanks!
Tammy,
Great project and 2 will be even better! Love the tassel on top. I have been on the lookout for similar frames to transform into a chalkboard for my kitchen
Best wishes,
Tammy
I love the horizontal stripes on your walls! I think you've given me the confidence to do this in one of my sons rooms :) Michelle
so cute...wish i was organized enough to keep my necklaces like that...instead they are all balled up in a jewelry box!!
Your room is FANTABULOUS!!! Thank you for sharing your fun idea!!
SO pretty! I love the dark burlap with the white frame. Very classy!
Thanks for linking this up. I love it!
XOXO

Looks great Tammy; perfect size for the space and I think I can tell you atleast one place you read that "pairs in the bedroom are good feng shui" ...:-)
I have got to agree with some of the other comments - I just love the shape of the frame! And what a creative way to display your jewelry.

Hey, thanks for stopping by my blog! This is funny because I have a mirror with that frame that I found at the Goodwill! I was just thinking I wish that I had another frame like that to put a mirror in! Aww Dang!
Have a great day lady! And, I'm glad a found your blog!
