Make Your Own Jewelry Rack!

We don't know about you but when it comes to earrings and necklaces we start with the best intentions to keep them organized and untangled. In reality, our earrings pile on our dressers until we  have to sit down and sort them out once again. Any store you go to will most likely have a possible solution to this problem. But, why buy a jewelry holder when you can make one? 



Transform this...

to this!

First: Find a wire rack. Thrift stores and garage sales are a good place to start. We bought a nice one for 25 cents! And the one above for 75 cents! Or look in your own kitchen. If you have a wire baking rack that you don't care for, use it!  

Second: Decide what color you want to paint your rack. We find spray paint is the easiest way to go. Decide if you want to glaze after you paint. Decide how you want to hang your rack. Ribbon? Wire? If you are using wire, make sure you have a nice pair of wire cutters. The pair in the picture, as you can tell, have seen better days.

For our rack, the base coat was Rust-o-leum's Flat Brown. Follow paint can instructions for best results. Then, using the foam brush we glazed with Martha's Medallion Metalic Glaze.  The wire is a thin mechanic wire that happened to be around. We used the E-6000 to glue on accents. You can find these things in home improvement stores and craft stores.

Third: Get creative and have fun! We added button accents, of course! And made wire S hooks to hang necklaces!

Last: Tada! Hang your new jewelry rack wherever you want to display all your beautiful earrings and necklaces!
