DIY Jewelry Board

I had seen several DIY Jewelry Boards on Pinterest and decided that Christmas would be a wonderful time to try to make one of these creative little things...

The supplies you will need for this project include the following:
- empty frame (found one at Hobby Lobby for $29.99 but used a 40% off coupon so it was cheaper)
- roll of cork board (can be found at any craft store or Hobby Lobby)
- poster board the same size as your frame (or foam board)
- spray adhesive 
- fabric (make sure it is 1 in. longer on all sides than the frame you use)
- stapler 
- push pins


Step-by-step Instructions:
1. Pick out a frame that you like -- the one I used is a 16 x 20 frame and is a perfect size (Hobby Lobby has a great selection to choose from)
2. Buy all other supplies
3. Cut your poster board (or foam board) the same size as your frame
4. Cut your cork board the same size as your frame
5. Spray poster board with adhesive and immediately place cork board on top of it
6. Let dry for 5-10 minutes
7. Stretch fabric over the board and staple it on the back
8. Place fabric covered board inside frame (should fit perfectly if cut correctly)
9. Place push pins on board and hang your jewelry! And TA-DA you have a wonderful way to display necklaces, bracelets, and earrings! :) 



Here is my first attempt at making a jewelry board. I made it for a Christmas present, but will definitely be making my own after the hustle and bustle of the holidays is over. Will be sure to post those pics, too! :)
