Chevron love

Picture taken from my cousin's dorm room.

So I have been seeing a bunch of different ideas on how to hang necklaces and other pieces of jewelry (mainly via Pinterest).  I was trying to think of ideas for my cousin's birthday and thought this would be perfect.  She just started her freshman year of college and I knew I had to make her something.  (All of my friends and family can attest to the fact that my go-to gifts are always something handmade).  At first I wanted to find old dresser knobs, but then I wasn't sure what I would attach them to.  Then I decided to browse the endless supply of miscellaneous odds and ends that have been accumulating in my basement.  I saw this 4x6 wooden picture frame that sparked the creation of this jewelry hanger.  Next, I went to my dad's work bench area where I found a drawer labeled "hooks" and the rest was a piece of cake.  These hooks I found were from who knows when, but they all had threads like the end of a screw.  They went into the wooden frame so easily.

For the assembly, I painted all the hooks one color.  I then decided on the chevron pattern and found some old cardboard to cut and fit in the picture frame.  After this was painted and put in the frame, I extended the chevron pattern to the frame itself.  I screwed the hooks in and that was that!

Repurposed: wooden frame, hooks
Bought: NOTHING!
