Solve the dilemma of tangled necklaces, broken jewelry, and disorganization. Create a chic item that will not only keep your necklaces in order, but will look great too.

Supplies:

  • Real or craft store tree branch
  • Scissor or saw
  • Drill
  • Screws
  • Wooden block (for base)
  • Knife
  • Paint
  • Wood stain
  • Paint brushes
  • Sandpaper


*Supplies can be found at your Chicagoland Home Depot, Michaels Craft Store, or Hobby Lobby

1) Pick your branch: Find a branch about three inches wide with multiple twigs. Make sure the twigs are spread far apart to allow the necklaces to hang.ย  If you can’t find a brach you like in nature, check your Chicagoland craft store for a plastic tree brach.

2) Prep your branch: If you went the natural route, set the branch on paper to let it dry. Once the branch is dry, lightly sand it down with sandpaper. This will remove dirt and make a smooth surface for painting/staining. Leave more bark or grain depending on the look you desire.
