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.

February 25, 2013 at 4:18 pmGreat 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!

March 4, 2013 at 12:53 pmThis 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!!

March 14, 2013 at 6:06 amDarlin! 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
March 14, 2013 at 6:51 amI 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!!
