How to build a DIY Jewelry Holder

How to build a DIY Jewelry Holder

I personally don't own a ton of jewelry so I wanted to create something that would be able to hold the little that I have in one place. I gathered up some scrap wood I had on hand and went to work! As with all DIY's, you can customize this project to fit your exact needs for your jewelry and space.

TOOLS USED

MATERIALS USED

  • 1 X 3
  • (1) 1X3
  • 5/8 DOWEL
  • (1) 1 X 2
  • 3/4 DRILL BIT
  • WOOD GLUE
  • MASKING TAPE

STEP 1

Cuts will vary for this project for each person's space. Below are the cuts I made that will fit the wall I'd like to hang it up on. 1 x 3 cut down into (2) 24 inch pieces & (2) 13 1/2 inch pieces, 5/8 dowel is cut down to (5) 2 3/8 inch pieces & (1) 15 inch piece and 1 x 2 cut down to (2) 3 inch pieces.

STEP 2

Clamp the backing of your jewelry holder down and cut off one corner.

STEP 3

Glue (4) 1 x 3 together to create the frame of the jewelry holder.

STEP 4

Use Corner Cat Finish Sander to clean up any excess glue or bumps/bruises that may have occurred while working on it thus far.

STEP 5

Clamp to secure and check right angles with speed square.

STEP 6

I decided to use 5 small dowel pieces to holder my necklaces but feel free to add more or less to customize it to your needs. I added a dab of glue to hold in place.

STEP 7

Then shot a pin nail into the back of the jewelry holder through each dowel to ensure it can hold the weight.

STEP 8

On the open corner, staple wire piece to cover entire corner to hang earrings off of.

STEP 9

With 3/4 drill bit, drill one hole into each 1 x 2 piece.

STEP 10

Glue and pin nail one into each bottom corner.

STEP 11

Shimmy 15 inch dowel piece in and voila! A place for your belts.

STEP 12

Everyone's jewelry holder needs are different! I hope this inspires you to create something unique and one of a kind for your space. I decided to leave it unfinished as wood accents fill up this room so it works perfectly. I created two simple boxes of out of scrap wood and glue! Perfect for my tiny rings. Happy DIY'ing!
