Description So during my move, my old necklace holder broke (the canvas part was sliced open by a drumstick, apparently ), so I had to make a new one. This time I did it a little differently. Here's the old version that broke:


So, I found this really awesome cork pin board with frame, except that it was a really tacky pink and had a floral pattern on the pin board part. Anyway, it was rather cheap since it was slightly damaged (paint on the frame was chipped off and a few scratches on the surface of the cork), so I bought it and changed it.
I took the whole think apart, painted everything black and then added the tree and cat in silver. This time I wanted it to really go with the earring frame, so I used the same design. (it's inspired by the title frame of Tim Burton's Vincent short movie)

After painting and varnishing I used clear push pins to make space for all my necklaces and bracelets. So yeah, here it is.



made me the green and the purple key sets.

traded me three awesome necklaces and one set of matching earrings (as well as a ring, which is in a Jack Skellington box along with my other rings )

made me a fantastic set of pirate jewelry

made a really cool set of Nightmare before Christmas jewelry as well as the Corpse Bride pendant .

made this absolutely adorably amazing Oyster Boy set (which I had to fix a bit due to rude shipping practices, that's why the characters are at different spots now, they're still absolutely awesome though )

made the fork pendant which I made into a necklace

you can also see these sets made by me:

Awesome. You have quite the collection! (I bet this isn't even half of your jewelry, right? )
I can see the puzzle set I made you!

Thanks! It's actually almost all of my jewelry, I sorted some stuff out recently and gave some away to friends. I just had way too much!
I still love that puzzle set, it's so funny how people think it's a man on the pendant and ten are all surprised to find out it's actually a puzzle piece

how funny- i just gave an old corkboard a makeover too. i used deep forest green, and added some victorian line drawings of goddesses. it's perfect for my shows

I love it because you have a good overview of all your jewelry and they don't all get tangled up.

Wow! That's very creative I need to see if I can make one too to hang up all that darn jewellery...

MyntKat In reply to Sorelliena [2010-11-12 00:13:04 +0000 UTC]

It's really easy, this one was already framed so I just had to paint it. Just make sure to select one that has a sturdy back so the push pins can hold the weight of the jewelry.

You used a canvas, right? I was glancing at your frames... omg that is so creative X_X My earrings and necklaces just sit in a pile usually, and so do my mother's. They drive us nuts! This looks like an easy and affordable (and pretty ) way to keep them tidy...

I have a tutorial for the earring frames: [link]
For the necklace one, the first time I used a large canvas, but this time I used a fancy framed cork pin board, which seems to work much better. But I guess you could just use push pins in a sturdy canvas or even just nails in a wooden board or something.
