Ok, she didn't change anything until she turned two. Apparently she is a very observant person and realized girls wear necklaces and wanted to wear them too. Someone gave her one and then I found some big beads on sale and made her a couple. She loves her necklaces, like wears one almost every day. And some days, she picks out one for me to wear. And because I love her, I oblige. How could I not.
I was getting tired of the necklaces ending up all over the floors of various rooms so I decided she and I both needed a necklace holder that we could share. And thus this simple modern stained wood necklace hanger was born!! It was pretty simple and aesthetically pleasing. Plus, I'm proud to say that I did it all by myself....well almost, my husband helped me a little. Supplies needed to make your own DIY necklace holder:
- 2 - 3/8" Dowel
- Wood Beads (optional)
- White Paint
- Metallic Paint - I used rose gold
- 1.25" Wood Cube
- Piece of Plywood
- Wood Glue
- Wood Stain
- Multi - Purpose Sealer
Next, if you want to add the balls at the end, then while your drilling the cubes, using the same drill bit and drill in just a little into the balls. Then paint your balls. If you want to, paint your cube white or color of choice.
As for the dowels, I chose to stain them a dark walnut color. If you stain them, make sure to seal them with a sealer.
Now for the wood plywood. Cut to desired length and width - I chose 16" by 3". I also stained it and then assembled all the pieces. Sorry I forgot to take pictures at this part.
But I basically glued the cubes with wood glue on the spot I wanted them. I then used clamps to hold them in place. Through the back of the plywood, I doubled secured the cubes onto the plywood with screws.
And your done. I put it at my 3 year old's level so she can get them down when she wants. She loves that she gets to hang her necklaces on the same place as mine. As you see, I don't wear very many necklaces :).
