Jewelry Organizer

I found this really cute jewelry organizer idea on High-Heeled Foot in the Door. One of my daily blog reads. I'm going to admit that I have a design blog stalker problem. It's true. And it's a problem. I guess there are far worse things to be addicted too. :-)

I went to Home Depot to get something like the Homasote she used. You can only buy a full sheet of it which was WAY too large for what I needed. The HD guy gave me a damaged piece and cut off the  damaged part so it would be smaller. (And he still gave me HALF off!) Score! So I paid $2 and some odd cents for a large piece of whatever it is that I bought.

It still wouldn't fit in my car, so the HD man tied it to my roof. Probably not the safest thing, but I wasn't going far. BUT I forgot to get it off my car and was headed to Alex City the next day... When I got on 280 I realized something was flapping back and forth on my hood. Yeah, not safe and not funny. That could have been a very bad accident waiting to happen. I  went back home and got it off my hood. Thank goodness I wasn't far.

Anyway, this weekend I finally got motivated enough to finish the project. I asked my neighbor to help me cut it. I really felt bad asking him to do another favor for me, but this was just cutting something. It took like 5 minutes.

the board finished and cut

next, I just laid my fabric down and covered it. Lib didn't want to be left out of the picture


the finished product


then, I nailed it in our bathroom behind the door


i used clear thumb tacks to hang the jewelry on


this obviously isn't all of my jewelry, it's just what I had out right that second

If you need a way to organize all your jewelry I think this is your best bet as far as the easiest and cheapest! I spent $4 TOTAL! Amazing I think!
