As promised, I’m back today with a much less random post. I have another completed project for my room I wanted to share with you guys.
I already showed you guys my diy earring holder and ring organizer. I knew I wanted to make something to hold my earrings as well. I had collected a few pallets and thought I would use some of the wood I had to construct something. Here’s what I came up with.
Again, just like my diy wood chalkboard tutorial, this project is super easy and pretty self explanatory, but I’m going to bore you with the details anyways!
A guy at work so graciously trimmed down a few of the pallet boards I had {I still haven’t invested in power tools, I know I need to}. I wanted to hang this right below my earring holder, so I wanted the width to be a little wider than it. The leftover pieces after trimming, I used to brace and attach to the back.
Sidenote: pallet wood, especially the kind I had, has a tendency to split really easily. I attempted to screw these in, but it kept splitting the wood so I ended up just using some small nails and hammering them in.
Since I was going to hang this right below my earring holder, I wanted the wood coloring to be about the same. So I went with a dark stain. But before I applied the stain I went ahead and coated the wood with a pre-stain.
Not sure if it was totally necessary, but I wanted the stain to coat evenly, so I applied it just to be safe.
I went with ‘English Chestnut’ from Miniwax as my stain of choice.
It went on super dark, but that’s what I was going for!
So here’s what it looked like after being put together and stained.
I bought a few knobs, some from Hobby Lobby and then some from the flea market, to use to hang the necklaces on.
Confession: I may or may not have attached them with super glue. Whatever, it worked!
Voila! A pallet necklace holder to further organize my jewelry.
{You may have also noticed that it is also being used to hold one of the few bracelets I own}.
Here are a few more shots.
What do you think?
Now all my jewelry is nice and organized and I love it!
Happy Monday!

Love it, Megan! I need to come up with a necklace organizer because right now I hang mine on hangers. Ghetto. Love that you super glued the knobs on. Hey, it’s better than duct tape.
It is slightly better than duct tape
And hangers totally work, but you’ve got those amazing conversation piece necklaces, you wouldn’t want those to get damaged 
Love this Megan!! Might need to do some of these for me and MC!!!
Thanks! You should!
Megan, it’s so cute! I love the different knobs. One of my kids picked up some pallets for me, so I’ve been looking for ideas. I’m visiting from Serenity Now link party.
