Storing Necklaces


I was asked about how I store my necklaces, and this is it:


Just a really simple way to go:  I hang them on pushpins on a corkboard I bought at Michael's.  I have the corkboard propped up on a dresser in my closet but as soon as I have time for a little project I'm going to hang it on the closet wall, and then hopefully a smaller one near it with bracelets and all my hoopy earrings.  

I really like having them like this - they don't get tangled and they are *visible* so I don't forget what I have and I can easily try them with outfits.  I do keep some special/fancy/sentimental pieces in their boxes or in my jewelry chest, but this works perfectly for a lot of what I have.  I actually do have a few necklaces that are still all tangled up from my days of shoving everything in the chest.  I never got how they magically do that... but these don't anymore!

  2. What a great tip for hanging and displaying necklaces. I've seen so many that are more complicated than I want (for example using chicken wire), and this is just so nice and easy! Thanks!

  4. Excellent idea! I need to do something like this.

    I also saw in someone's blog a while back that they did something similar, but covered the bulletin board with fabric so they could hang it on the wall.

    I don't have the wall space in my closet right now, so maybe I'll have to go with the adaptation!

  7. thanks ladies!

    Gigi - those are both from Old Navy! I ordered them a year or two ago online on a great sale... I want to say they were about $5 each, $10 at the most.
