Shabby Chic Plastic Canvas DIY Jewelry Organizer

Jewelry· Organization

I like wearing jewelry, but I rarely do, for one simple reason- my jewelry is a tangled mess!  I usually throw it into a basket on my dresser.  Then I never want to dig through the basket to find what I want. I am the Mayor of Lazytown!  I needed to make something to keep my jewelry net and organized.  I needed something that was easy to use, easily accessible, and looked nice.  Tall order, right? I have plenty of wall space, and wanted to utilize that if I could.  Here is what I came up with – a DIY jewelry organizer!

DIY jewelry organizer - Crafts UnleashedA shabby-chic  frame organizer, to be exact.  I have seen similar frames converted to jewelry holders- but they all required window screening, heavy duty staples guns, sweat and tears. And optional cursing.

You know I am too lazy for that!

I came up with an inexpensive, hot-glue-gun version using….(drumroll!) plastic canvas. Plastic canvas is perfect for hanging earrings!

Here are the supplies you will need to create your own DIY jewelry organizer:

  • Plastic Canvas (10 mesh white 10.5in by13.5in)
  • 5mm Screw Eyes (2 screws)
  • .5in Cup Hooks (5 hooks)
  • Triangular Hangers (if your frame does not have hangers)
  • Silver Sparkle Tape
  • Victoria Lynn Crystal Garland
  • Wooden Photo Frame (I found a $5 11×14″ frame from a discount store)
  • Sand-it Gadget (optional)
  • White Spray Paint (optional)

DIY Jewelry Organizer  bMake sure when you select your photo frame, that it is solid wood. You can choose a smaller frame if you desire. The plastic canvas will accommodate an 11×14 frame, so that is what I chose! More real estate for my jewelry!

Remove the backing and glass from your frame.

Choose your frame orientation. I chose horizontal. If you have limited wall space, you could run your frame vertically.

DIY Jewelry Organizer  cThen using a ruler, measure and mark where you would like to attach cup hooks to hang necklaces.

These stubborn cup hooks (initially) would not go into the wood! I had to help them get started by tapping a finish nail where I wanted the hook to go. Then they went in super easily!

DIY Jewelry Organizer  dAttach all of your cup hooks. Make sure they are snug.

DIY Jewelry Organizer  eI was able to evenly attach five hooks. You could easily add more!

DIY Jewelry Organizer  fIn the top two corners of your frame- attach two eye hooks. Before you install them into the frame (using the same finish nail method as the cup hooks), bend the loop outward slightly.

DIY Jewelry Organizer  gThese hooks will be used to attach a crystal garland to the frame.

DIY Jewelry Organizer  hFlip your frame over, and attach photo hangers if your frame did not come with hangers.

DIY Jewelry Organizer iAt this point, you can paint your frame if you desire.

I could not find a pre-painted white frame! I chose this black one, and spray painted it white. When the paint was completely dry, I went over it with a Sand-it Gadget to reveal some of the black underneath.

DIY Jewelry Organizer  jWhen your frame is the desired finish, turn the frame over to the back, and using a hot glue-gun, insert your plastic mesh.

DIY Jewelry Organizer lApply hot glue generously. I found it helpful to work in 3-4 inch sections, and hold down the mesh while it dried. The mesh may melt slightly. This is okay. 🙂

I chose to add a glitter washi tape mat to my frame. This is optional!

Flip the frame over, and simply run some tape along the inside of the frame.

DIY Jewelry Organizer mIf the tape peels up, you can always add a small amount of adhesive to help it stick. Mine stuck down fine.

Now we are going to add the gorgeous crystal garland!

DIY Jewelry Organizer nThis thing comes pre-made, on silver wrapped wire. (Easy!)

It is so pretty! And very shabby-chic.

Attach the garland to your frame by stringing it through the top two eye hooks you attached earlier. Trim if needed.

DIY Jewelry Organizer pYou are finished!

DIY Jewelry Organizer qNow you just need to choose a place to hang your DIY jewelry organizer, and put your favorite jewelry on display!

    I want/need to make one of these for myself SO bad! It seems so easy and like it doesn’t take a lot of time to do but for some reason I just haven’t gotten around to it. WOMP!

    Shaunte, you are a genius! I have an old printer’s drawer that I’ve been meaning to turn into jewelry storage… but whenever I thought about messing with all of the mesh I would need to use, procrastination won. I’m totally going to use the plastic canvas instead–now I just have to figure out what color I want to use. 🙂
