DIY: Homasote Jewelry Organizer
The organization kick continued on Sunday and after I fixed up my vanity I realized I need a home for all of my necklaces.
Cut piece of Homasote: This was a left over piece that was already a good size so I didn’t need to cut it. The nice thing about homasote is that you do not need a table saw to cut it. So if you purchased a large sheet at your local home improvement store you could use a knife or razor to cut it to size:
To apply wallpaper use spray glue. I used grass cloth, because due to it’s texture it will hide push pin marks and I used spray glue, because due to the porous nature of the homasote wallpaper paste would steep into the board rather quickly. Spray the homasote and the back of wallpaper:
Then flip it over and staple it into place to secure wallpaper even more:
For the corners make an angled cut to get a smooth finish:
Ta da you are almost finished! Now just nail it into the wall. We just used 4 nails and tacked them in the corners.
*Excuse my sparkly walls. We did a candlelight technique in the room and when the flash hits the sparkles come out!
Last use clear push pins as your jewelry hangers and start placing your jewels:
Close up of jewels:
Best part was that we hung the board behind our door. So when it’s opened my manly husband doesn’t have to see sparkly gems all through out our room:
So easy and it cost me nothing, because it was all supplies that I had around the house.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fabulous! I have tried something similar in the past but found that some of my necklaces were a bit too heavy for the push pins. Any thoughts on a sturdier option?
I love it! Your collection of jewelry is beautiful! I have a similar set up in my closet and used hook eye (? I think that's what they're called) and they are really sturdy and work well.
omg, i need one of these so bad! i have so many friggin necklaces and i need a cute way to display them- love this!!
So when should i expect you to come and install one for me? Next week you say? ok perfect, see you then!
Great idea Jenn. I was going to mention eye hooks. I was trying to do my budget with things I had at home so push pins worked for me.
I have a couple of heavier pieces on the board and I just a couple of push pins throughout the piece to hold it in place.
Linds I keep telling Jon he needs to surprise you in Boston one weekend and do projects for you!
He is slowly coming around to the idea. 🙂
Looks great! Is it hanging in your bedroom or bathroom? I'd love a big board like that, but there is no room in my bath or closet.
Hey Cassie,
It's hanging behind the door of my bedroom. It works perfectly there. I can get to it when I need to, but during the day while my door is open it doesn't look like a totally girly room so my husband is okay with it.

This is a great idea! It's functional and creates a piece of art at the same time (:
Hi, I just stumbled across your blog today and am so glad I did! This jewelry hanger looks too cute, I might just have to use something similar for all my long necklaces that are currently stored in a drawer. I feel like when you see them on display you are more likely to come up with fun combinations to outfits!
I made a pinboard for my living room covered in cotton duck. Used spray adhesive and lots of nailhead trim. After I hung it, the fabric (which seemed really stretched tight before) puckered. Have you had this happen? I am known to be a little uptight about details….so I might be the only person this bothers. Or do you have a trick :)?
you are full of great ideas.. love this one. thanks!
Camila– The perfect ying to the yang of your newly organized jewelry drawer! Beautiful!

Looks really pretty!! I can't wait to see more of your bedroom!
Hmmm… I might have to do this! Great idea. And wish I had so many great necklaces, etc!
LOVE IT! I am in the middle of some jewelry organization too…..pvc pipe…might have to do a post.
You are on a roll! Love this!
So functional! I love a DIY using items you already own. Those are always the best, aren't they?
I’ve been looking for something easy to do to keep my jewelry organized (aka help remind me of what I already have). I think this is definitely within my limited DIY capabilities & tools 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Pure genius!! Definitely going to make this asap!!
