Ah, the dilemmas of being a woman.

How to store all of those wonderful necklaces of yours, without them getting tangled up or lost and forgotten? And why can’t we appreciate their beauty even when we’re not wearing them?

Well, I have a simple solution to all of that.

<-That is my original necklace management. Still is for my chunky necklaces.

I got these boxes in Brasil. They are filled with different seeds and I love them. However, I have so many necklaces that the hangers have become overwhelmed. My finer chain necklaces get tangled up and lost amongst my chunkies.

I wanted to stop that. I like to be able to distinguish my clothing and accessories so I can easily pick out what I want to wear that day. I also just like to look at my pretty pendants and admire their beauty when I’m not wearing them.

Recently my friend gave me a simple, but beautiful, painting of a bird. I decided to hang it up in my bathroom since it matched the colour scheme/theme in there, and I had a blank wall.

While her piece was wonderful on its own, I thought it would be the perfect companion for my favorite necklaces.

So here is what I came up with:

It took me a few moments of thinking to decide the “hooks” for the necklaces. I didn’t want to put any more nail holes into the wall, but I didn’t want to ruin her art either. Then it dawned on me, PAPERCLIPS. Bend foward the small hook, and hang the larger one off the board.

I’m all about the easy way, and (re)using what you have on hand. If you want to get fancy, go for it. Get nice little knobs/hooks. Heck, maybe one day I’ll get fancy and show you up.
