...being in desperate need of a necklace storage...i was looking for some elegant door knobs and drawer pulls...of course in black...and i was actually successful and started gluing, stapling, drilling and screwing.
after finishing the first board...i figured out that i could have made it a lot easier and cheaper, too.
...at the end i did not mind...as i really like the result anyways.
so...here comes the tutorial...please ignore the canvas part...this is what you actually do not need at all...you can easily use a wooden board on its own.
i hope you enjoy it...even though the photos taken are only temporary, as done during my vacation at my parent's house...as soon as i get the chance i will post some pictures of the hanging in my own place with hopefully having room for all my necklaces.
so...stay tuned...
- on the wall of the guest room at my parent's house
- a close up
- and even closer
this is what you need
- no canvas
- wooden board
- padding
- fabric
- door knobs and drawer pulls
- no glue
- ribbon
- stapler
- scissors
- saw
- drill
this is what you have to do
- no gluing of a wooden board into a canvas
- cut padding larger than the wooden board
- affix the padding onto the board using a stapler
- cut the fabric in the same size as the padding
- lay your padded onto the inner side of the fabric
- staple it tightly onto all four sides of the boards
- fold the edges neatly
- it should look like this somehow...or even better
- and like this
- cut a ribbon for the suspension
- staple one end of the ribbon onto the top of the board
- and onto the other end to create a loop
- arrange the door knobs and drawer pulls as you like
- mark where you wish to have your holes drilled
- it did not work for me to pierce a hole through the fabric covered side, so i had to transfer the marks to the back side of the board and drilled from there
- screw all pulls and knobs and tighten the same
- the tighter they are, the more you will get that upholstered look
- aren't they beautiful...???
- i really think they are
- you might need to saw some of the screws, so they all will have the same length and the board will lay flat on your wall
