I can proudly say, another project finished! (Thankfully, I finished some projects before this crazy heat & humidity entered out lives.)
Some time ago, I noticed my daughter was not putting her necklaces in her jewelry box but leaving them out on a shelf. When I asked her why, she said because they're always tangling up.
Hmmm. I made a note to get her one of those necklace stand thingys that I always see in TJ Maxx...the kind to corral your necklaces.
Then I realized, where is she gonna put this thing?
Hmmm again. Maybe, I'll make her something that she can hang instead.
So I took some materials & set out to make a hanging necklace corral thingy.
First I painted the wood purple, then covered it in Annie Sloan's Old White chalk paint. I added some wooden flower appliques & my hooks, lightly sanded around the edges so some of that purple would show through & added a pretty purple ribbon.
I bought a hook from Hobby Lobby to hang it from & here it is, in her room:
Not too bad, huh?
Don't be alarmed by the cracks in her walls. You'd be cracked too if you were 78 years old & made of plaster! LOL
Linking up at Tatertos & Jello for the Weekend Wrap up Party
Have a wonderful weekend my dear sweet friends!

You are the best mom ever!! What a cute little project and you make it look so easy!! Love the little extra with the flowers on the top. Have a great week end my friend!
ReplyDeletevery cool. I love hobby lobby!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
You are on a roll girl...that is super cute!
ReplyDeleteNot bad at all and something everyone could use. Nicely done. I just read your chalk paint post. I am a furniture painter but my pieces are less vintage looking and more crazy pop or floral patterns. I would like to give this a whirl though. So what is it about the wax that you don't like. I want to know what I'm getting in to. :0

Very cute idea. Sometimes I think that is what is wrong with me...I am a little old and my plaster is getting cracked...or maybe I am turning into a crackpot? As the kids say-Whatevah~ xo Diana
ReplyDeleteYou are a crafty one!!! That is so cute! I totally agree with your daughter, things get so tangled in a jewelry box. Even earrings! I made myself an earring hanger, it's still not done as I need some chicken wire to hang the earrings on but I do end up changing my earrings a lot more than when they're in a jewelry box:)
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect. My daughter needs one as well but boy am I not so crafty.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your projects! They motivate me to be more creative, and provide me with so many ideas!
ReplyDeleteTwo thumbs up! What a pretty way to keep the necklaces nice and organized. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteMuch love,
♥Ana
so pretty :)

Oh my goodness! I just buzzed in catching up and you have been a busy, busy girl! Love the necklace hanger. It looks so pretty against the purple wall. We have something similar that we use for Baby Bee's necklaces and bracelets. If I can just get her to hang them up.
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look divine! I just tackled homemade peanut butter and chocolate ice cream so you know I adore those two flavors together.
Cute lighthouse table setting too! Love the runner and the lantern. Beachy and Americana! :)
