After struggling to find a way to organize my delicate necklaces without having them get tied together and spending forever undoing the knots, I came up with this super simple DIY necklace hanger. It's an easy way to keep your jewelry untangled and serves as a eye-catching display (and yes, I have not one, but two serotonin molecule necklaces).
Materials:
- Wooden plank (I bought mine from Michael's for about $3)
- Nails (as many as you think you'll need; 1 per necklace and an extra to hang the product)
- Hammer
- Acrylic paint(s) of your choice (I also used a paint pen for the cheetah spots)
- Mod podge to use as a gloss
- Twine or yarn
I started with painting a base on the wood. After it dried, I went back over it and painted ombre cheetah spots for an eye-catching design. Although I painted the spots after I hammered in the nails, I would recommend finishing painting completely before you proceed with the nails. I hammered the nails a bit haphazardly and randomly for some variation. Lastly, I went back and outlined the cheetah spots with a black paint pen to make the design pop out more. To create a glossly look, I recommend going over the final product with Mod Podge (but only after the acrylic paint has completely dried so you don't smear it!)
I hammered a nail on the top back of the wood and used twine to create a loop so that all I would need would be a push pin to hang the final product. After everything dries, your necklaces will be ready to store and display without getting tangled!
