This is a project that was in the works for quite some time. I had the idea in my head and the tiny antique knobs but needed the time to work it out. Since Miss H and I started making jewelry last summer, we were suddenly and completely overflowing with necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Well, the bracelets and earrings were easy to organize in jewelry boxes, but necklaces get tangled so easily that I felt like they should be hanging.
So I needed a board to mount the knobs and machine screws to hold the knobs to the board. I found an board left over from the ceiling of my living room which was already stained and prepared. I just had to cut it shorter. I found some screws at the local store. I had 6 antique knobs so I measured and marked with even spacing for drilling the holes. I chose a drill bit which would allow the screws to fit snugly through the holes. Last was just screwing them on the board.
I mounted the board on the wall next to my dressing table and hung 3 necklaces on each knob. I have been very happy with the results because I can quickly see my choices of my handmade necklaces, and they're never tangled.
