I’ve had these wooden cut outs for a couple months and wasn’t quite sure what to do with them. I knew I wanted to do something along the blank wall in my craft room, and then I thought it might be fun to display my necklace collection. So here we go…
I found these beautiful ornate knobs from Hobby Lobby last week at 50% off. I scooped up 5 of them for this project.
I drilled 1 hole into the center of each wooden cutout.
Next I gave each of the cutouts a coat of Pure White Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Yes, this is my absolute favorite paint. No priming required and it has a wonderful chalky finish.
I also have the wooden cutouts a quick coat of dark wax around the edges (I thought it would look nice against the dark knobs).
To hang I used some Command Brand picture frame hangers (love these things and use them all.the.time! And no, they don’t pay me to say that!
Just 5 little wooden cutouts with knobs filled up my bare wall quite nicely.
And I love seeing all of my necklaces on display (seem to go well with my colorful craft room).
I still need to straighten up the other side of this room… although our house is still on the market and I don’t know how much I want to delve into that project. Oh well, for now I’m happy with this cute little necklace holders as the newest addition to my special space.

Looks awesome! I’d love to see more pictures of the rest of your room like how you organize your craft tools on that other wall! =P

Great idea to use those wooden plaques! i bought 4 knobs from hobby lobby a couple months ago to use as towel holders in the bath, but was having a hard time finding the Right background for it, and these plaques are great! Thanks for the inspiration!

This is so cute and clever. I am pinning this so I can do this in the future. We live in an old house with very limited closet space. My necklaces are all in piles and now I can have a cute way to store them and class up the closet a little!!

Darlin! How did you cut off the back of the screw since it appears it was too long? Did you use a cutter of some sort?
howtonestforless says
I didn’t have to cut the screws at all (totally lucky right?). It lined up perfectly flush with the back of the wood. I was a little worried at first that I would have to shave the screws down, but nope, they’re perfect!!
