Things You'll Need:
- ceiling tile or old cork board
- fabric
- stapler
- pins
-
Step 1
Find a ceiling tile or an old cork bulletin board. Select a piece of fabric with a fairly plain pattern. Too much detail in the fabric distracts from the jewelry that you will display on it.
-
Step 2
Wrap the fabric around the front of the tile or bulletin board. Staple it to the back with staples or thumbtacks. This part won't be visible, so don't worry much about the appearance. Just make sure the fabric is stretched smoothly over the front part.
-
Step 3
Hang the finished piece on the closet wall or in the bathroom or bedroom. Figure out the most convenient space for you. The board filled with jewelry can even serve as an art piece on the wall.
-
Step 4
Now the fun part is arranging the jewelry on the board. Any straight pin will work to hang the jewelry, but think about hat pins or get quilting pins with colored heads too.
-
Step 5
Larger, heavier costume jewelry may need support from two pins. Hang smaller pieces inside larger ones to use all the space.
-
Step 6
Hang bracelets and dangley earrings on the board as well. Decorative brooches or pins can just be stuck into the bulletin board.

on 3/27/2009 Good idea. Jewelery cabinets are so expensive, costing $100 or more. This is a great substitute.
