I have been pootling around on Pinterest again, this time I have been looking for ideas for storing my necklaces and I when I found this I was inspired.
We have tongue and groove on the walls in our bedroom and so the little ledge running around the top was just ideal for making this little project come to life. I bought some upholstery pins from Ebay and knocked them in at one inch intervals.
I now have all my necklaces hanging across the width of the chimney breast, in colour order as I'm a bit manic about that kind of thing, plus there are a few empty pins at the end so room for plenty more.
As well as trying to store my necklaces in a better way I also did a search on options for bracelet and bangle storage, which led me to buy this bud vase in a charity shop yesterday for £1.00
and so a selection of my pink, purple and red bracelets now have a new home. I need to keep my eyes peeled now for more suitable vases for the rest of my collection.
To be honest I enjoy the searching for suitable pieces just as much as i enjoy looking at the finished and tidier result.
What a great idea - you don't have to spend hours untangling them like I do then! xxxx
ReplyDeleteWow what a great collection you have!

What brilliant ideas!....and what a great selection of necklaces you have there.I had mine all jumbled up in bag in my drawer,but now they're neatly hanging on a mug tree.It's getting rather full now,so I may just have to copy your idea! :0)
ReplyDeleteI've seen the necklace idea before but that's a great idea for the bracelets and bangles - what a collection you have! I just keep mine in a drawer, I only have a few and rarely wear any.
ReplyDeleteSuitably impressed! Perhaps you should work in Accessorize?
ReplyDeleteLove the button necklaces & the bangle stack....

Your beads & bangles look so attractive like this. Hope you find more vases !
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas. I'm impressed by your collection, I don't have many necklaces, and those I do have rarely get worn.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and such a fabulous collection!
ReplyDeleteI bet you'll find yourself using/wearing more now!

ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea Lisa! You now have to add another bracelet to your collection though! Come and visit my blog and you will know what I am talking about! x
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words today, I really appreciate them.
I love your jewellery system - mine are all tangled in a drawer, so consequently I wear the same one or two all the time!
Thank you again, xx
And you've just won another bracelet in a giveaway!
