USING WHAT YOU FIND

Daughter found two pieces of old head boards in the attic of the old farmhouse in Kirbyville.  She transformed them into jewelry hangers.  They are beautiful.

Not to be outdone, I had a fit to make myself something to hang all my jewelry on.  Daughter had two doors that were off of  a large piece of furniture and could not be reattached.  She gave me the two doors and instructions for how to make jewelry hangers.

These are my two doors waiting for the crackle to happen. They originally had a light oak color to them.  I painted them with off white paint and then used Valspar Glaze to make the white paint crackle so the oak would show through.  

The glaze caused the white paint to crackle so that some of the oak color shows through.  I followed the directions on the jar of glaze. The sealing wax preserves the finish.  Then with the help of one of our photographer crew, we put four rows of cup hooks across the doors.  The wood was very hard so we had to use an electric drill to get the cup hooks started.
My doors could not be hung horizontally but looked really good standing side by side. 

Now I can pick the necklace I want to wear without digging through drawers and drawers of jumbled up jewelry.
