After the backboards are ready all you have to do is attach them to the peg board. I used a nail gun but if you don’t have one I am sure you can screw them together.
{ Check out my hands… there is a working woman for you 😉 }
.The next thing I did was paint the board. I chose a really soft powder blue… it is a really light turquoise… it should be called perfection. The name however is Sea Air { 5006-9A } and it is made by Valspar, you can find it at the Home Depot.
.
The angle has to be 45 degrees.

THE ACCESSORIES
Now let the FUN begin!
.SOUP CANS
The first thing I made were my sweet little cans for storage…
You remember them… I poked some holes towards the top of them so I could hang them…
Click here for the TUTORIAL.
Chicken Wire FRAME
For my earrings I transformed an old frame into a storage unit. This is SO easy to make:
1. Paint your frame.
2.Cut your wire { it is SHARP} with some pliers. Find Chicken Wire HERE
3. Attach it to the back of the frame nailing down some tacks.
You are done!
The Hooks
You can find them pegboard hooks HERE.
.The Bracelet Holder
This is actually an old cup holder that I found at my local Thrift Store for $2… Not bad!
A little paint did the job and it works like a charm!
.
The Tray
I have had this small “whatever you want to call it” for some time. I added some fur on top to make it soft and protect the jewelry that wasn’t meant to be hung.
The Baskets
I just got these linen baskets at Wal-Mart also.
To bring some interest I painted some stripes on them.
Now they carry all of my belts and scarves.
THE TRANSFORMATION
At this point I was ready to put it all together and start hanging my little treasures…
{ don’t dare to call it junk }
.
The earrings.
.
The rings.
.
The necklaces.
.
And even the sunglasses and my Spanish fans have a place!
Pretty AMAZING what a woman has to do some times to show HOW MUCH SHE LOVES HER HUSBAND. Oh, the sacrifices!

The Thinking Closet
I love everything about this project! I have been wanting to find a different way to organize/display my jewelry and this is perfect. Thanks for sharing!
I have hundreds of earrings , rings, necklace, and assorted related things. I camera up with the Pe Board idea…didn’t know I was re-inventing the wheel. But, I had no clue how to make it. I was exploring new apps I had added to my new iPad and stumbled upon (!!!) on this great tutorial and image of how it will look. The tutorial was clear and I think I can do it w/o help!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Now I’ll be able to see at a glance all my jewelry. Every day I have been pawing through little baggies with pieces of jewelry in drawers in a stand up jewelry case. Arghhh. Now it’s PHEW!
Desirée,
I think you are cool. I found your website by following a link on postrunner. I looked around a bit and found this tutorial. My wife is such an accessories freak that there is never enough room to put her stuff. She tries to take as little room as possible, but I’m sure you know that it’s not always easy.
I’ve been looking for something like this and finally found it. After seeing what you did here, I’m going out immediatly and getting some material to build her something similar for Christmas. Thank you so much for the idea!
Happy holidays,
Jac
PS: As a husband myself, I can assure you that your husband doesn’t put up with you; he enjoys every little quirk about you. I’m sure he wouldn’t want it any other way. I know I wouldn’t want my wife to change one little thing about how she is.
Jac, what a cool comment… I think she is going to love your gift! Thank you so much for stopping by to say hi and welcome to The 36th AVENUE!
Would you consider selling and shipping these?
LOVE LOVE LOVE! My little sister and I are in the process of making one for my moms birthday this month!
Yay! Love it!
I LOVE this!! I would love for you to link up at Well Crafted Wednesdays!

Just wondering what the overall size of the cork board was. I love it, I’m going to make some for
my 2 granddaughters.
Miny,
Mine is 23″x31″ plus the frame. You can find some similar ones at Wal-Mart or Target.
