How to Make a Wall-Mounted Jewelry Organizer

If you’re looking for a creative way to store necklaces and bracelets, this DIY shelf is a quick and easy solution. Mounted on the wall, it doubles as a decorative accent and a functional organizer.

When the wood pieces are attached, sand smooth and apply a coat of primer. Paint in desired color and it is ready to add hooks.

I found large white upholstery tacks and using a magnetic tack hammer, nailed them about an inch apart across most of the shelf and a little further apart at the opposite end to accommodate wider bracelets.

Materials You’ll Need

• 1 wooden board (mine is approximately 40 inches long)

• 1 decorative board or trim piece to mount the shelf onto (adds style and support)

• Decorative upholstery tacks or hooks

• Hanging hardware (sawtooth hangers, D-rings, or command strips)

• Hammer

• Ruler or measuring tape

• Pencil

Optional:

• Sandpaper (for smoothing rough edges)

• Paint or stain (if you’d like to customize the finish)

How to Make a Wall-Mounted Jewelry Organizer

1. Measure and Prepare the Boards
   Attach the wooden boards (each approximately 40 inches long). You can leave the wood natural, paint it, or stain it to match your space. Lightly sand the surface and edges if needed.

2. Mark Placement for Tacks or Hooks
   Using a ruler and pencil, mark evenly spaced points along the length of the board where you’ll insert the upholstery tacks. Spacing them about 1½ to 2 inches apart works well, but you can adjust based on your needs.

3. Insert Decorative Tacks
   Gently hammer in the upholstery tacks at each marked spot. These will serve as hooks for hanging necklaces and bracelets. Make sure they’re secure but not driven in so far that the necklaces don’t fit.

4. Attach Hanging Hardware
   Flip the board over and attach your choice of wall-mounting hardware, D-rings, sawtooth hangers, or even strong adhesive strips. Be sure to space them evenly for balanced hanging.

5. Hang the organizer on your wall and arrange your necklaces, bracelets, or rings.
