Step-by-Step Guide
Now, let’s dive into the fun part – building your very own jewelry organizer!
Step 1: Building the Frame
- Create the outer frame: Using the two 17″ and two 8″ pieces of 1″ x 2″ wood, assemble the outer rectangular frame. Use the 1 1/2″ wood screws to secure the corners.
- Attach the lattice molding: Position the lattice molding pieces on the front of the frame, about 1″ from the sides and flush with the top and bottom. Secure them in place with the 1″ wood screws. This creates a lip to hold the chicken wire.
Step 2: Adding the Chicken Wire
- Measure and cut the chicken wire: Carefully measure and cut the chicken wire to fit snugly within the frame you created in step 1. If you are using wire cutters, always wear safety glasses and gloves.
- Secure the chicken wire: Place the chicken wire onto the back of the frame, making sure it’s taut. Secure it in place by screwing the frame together from the back. Remember, don’t overtighten the screws, as this could crack the wood. Tip: Using clamps to hold the chicken wire in place while you attach it can be very helpful.
Step 3: Creating the Shelf and Finishing Touches
- Attach the shelf: Position the 17″ x 1″ x 3″ piece of wood onto the bottom portion of the frame, creating a small shelf. Secure it from the back using the 1 1/2″ screws. Tip: Using a scrap piece of wood or a stack of books to support the shelf while you attach it from the back can help ensure it’s level.
- Add the dowel: Drill two pilot holes into the underside of the shelf, approximately 2″ from each end. Attach the 17″ dowel using the 1″ screws. This will serve as a stylish holder for bracelets or necklaces.
- Install the hooks: Screw in the cup hooks to the bottom of the shelf and in any arrangement you like to the frame. These will hold your earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.
