Make a jewellery hanger

Lennox Woodcraft ISSUE 9. Apr14-May14

Organise that messy pile of accessories by upcycling an old window frame into a handy place for your earrings, necklaces and broaches. Stella and Dave Lennox of Lennox Woodcraft show you how.

One for the girls! There is nothing worse than a muddle of your favourite necklaces and earrings on the dresser. This is a very simple project that will tidy up your jewellery department, keep your treasures visible so you don’t lose track of old faves, and look stylish at the same time. And with minimal materials and tools needed you can have it whipped up within an hour.

You’ll need

An old picture frame, window frame or cupboard door (with glass and / or door panel removed). Try your local junkyard – the more rustic-looking the better
Chicken wire or mesh
Wire cutters
Measuring tape
Staple gun and staples
Some cute mini pegs. You can pick up packs of 50 for about $3 at The Warehouse, or online.

Step-by-step

Step 1

Measure the height and width of the inside frame.

Step 2

Cut your wire/mesh to the frame size.

Step 3

Place your mesh on to the back of the frame and staple it securely in place.

Step 4

Turn your hanger around and hang up your jewellery! Your hanger can now be propped on your dressing table, leant against the wall or even hung on the wardrobe door
