Step 1
Cut your wood in the desired shape with a table saw or hand saw. Typically a triangle shape is easy to cut.
-
Step 2
Use a wood router to round your edges or create a decorative edge around your wooden plaque.
-
Step 3
Take your sponge paint brushes and cover the entire piece of wood with paint primer (front and back). Allow primer to dry completely.
-
Step 4
Once the primer is dry, paint the necklace rack in your desired color. It may take a couple of coats so be sure to let each coat of paint dry thoroughly before painting on another layer.
-
Step 5
Use templates or other artistic aids to paint an appealing design on your wood. You can add pictures, patterns or just leave it a solid color.
-
Step 6
Now you can embellish the necklace rack with beads, ribbons, silk flowers and more.
-
Step 7
Drill holes across the rack either in the middle or a couple of inches from the bottom. Insert hooks in the pre-drilled holes to hold the jewelry.
-
Step 8
Proudly display your necklace rack in the bedroom or closet area.
