Crafty Sunday

Today I decided to finally find a solution to the annoying little problem I
had involving the hoard of necklaces I own.
The problem?
Storage.

More to the point, storage where they won't become all intertwined.
The hours I've spent untangling them is frustrating to think about.

So today I went on a mission to find a quick fix to my ridiculous problem.

You will need:
  • Ecobalsa sheet (12.5x75x915mm)
  • Strong tacks
  • pretty paper or fabric
  • wool or ribbon
  • craft glue
  • 2 nails and hook thingys


First step is to cut your paper to fit the board.
You get out your ruler and measure it perfectly if you're anal about these things or
like me you can simply just place the board on top of the paper and cut either side of it.


You now have your bits.


Now for the glue part.


Once you have glued on your paper, you can start putting in your tacks.
Don't push them all the way in.
Leave about 3-4mm still sticking out.


On the opposite side of the board, place a tack on either end and tie some wool or ribbon to each.


Now you can hang it.
Nail in your hook thingys and little nails and tie the wool or ribbon to the hook.
And voilà!

Hang up all your necklaces and toast to your achievement.

All done.
And now I feel semi organised.
 Easy peasy.
