DIY Framed Jewelry Organizer
Take a frame, some cork, a drawer pull, and Krylon spray paint and what do you have? A DIY Framed Jewelry Organizer! This is a simple enough project to complete in a hour and it is adaptable. Use basic frames or fancy frames that could use a fresh coat of paint and create your own organizer. Several of these up on the wall would look amazing and this project is super easy to do.
Primary TechniquePainting
Materials:
- 1 Decorative Photo Frame
- 1 Sheet of backing for frame (we used cork)
- 1 Drawer pull, hardware, and 2 flat washers
- 1 Screwdriver
- 1 Stanley Knife or other cutter
- 1 Metal edge ruler
- Glue Gun
- Krylon® ColorMaster Spray Paint - Gloss Rich Plum
- Screwdriver
Instructions:
- If the frame is not backed already you will need to back it. You can do (as I did) and use a 0.5" cork sheet cut to size with a Stanley knife and a metal edge ruler. If the frame is already backed with hardboard then you can use that but you may need to cut it to size. You can also use Plywood cut to size if you have access to tools to do this.
- Place the cork (or other backing board) inside the frame and glue in place around the edges with a glue gun. The backing should sit flush where the glass would normally be.
- Affix the drawer pull using the supplied hardware. Cork is soft enough that you can push a knitting needle or similar item through it to make starting holes for the drawer hardware. Use a large flat washer between each screw and the cork to prevent the screw pulling through the cork.
- Following the manufacturers instructions for using the spray paint - coat the project with 2 coats of spray paint ensuring you get a good cover across the top and sides of the frame. Set aside until dry.
- Hang the frame using its own hardware. You can now hang necklaces and bracelets from the drawer pull.
