Love this idea, i ahev way too much earrings and things, so i got three long pieces of wood, painted them and hammered nails in them to hold my jewerally. looks awesome, and its very useful!

loooove it :D I had an idea to use something soft between under some fabric (for pattern) so that when I screw in the hooks it will be like lounge chair, you know? luxurious ;)

grace, you are probably not even reading this thread anymore, but – i just bought a ton of ikea bas frames, and the one big hitch i can see is that they’re constructed in such a way that removing the clear plastic front is nearly impossible. are yours just behind the glass?

it strikes me that if i do this with my jewelry, it will be more decorative, but no more accessible than it currently is (stashed in a clutch purse after too many moves in too little time) and i still won’t wear it!

Great project. And yes, where did you get the pretty hooks. I don’t remember seeing them the last time I was at Home Depot!

What a neat surprise this was! I was in the middle of going back through your DIY archives and came across these jewelry boxes. I scrolled down and saw a link to the original story in Blueprint (may it rest in piece :( ), which I actually wrote! I had so much fun learning how to make the shadow box that was featured. :)Anyway, just wanted to say how neat it was see it on your blog. Thanks!

Grace, could I really find the more decorative hooks at any hardware store? I love the pretty swivel hooks!

that really is a great idea…I’ve always wanted to display Jewelry in shadow boxes for gallery shows…but it would require a little extra effort to put in a glass or clear aclyric top..that always set me back…haha

using the nice wrapping paper as a background is a wonderful idea. i’m going to try this with larger, antique frames i have tucked away!
