I spotted an old, distressed window frame a few months back and knew it had to come home with me.  After turning it into a DIY jewelry holder, it has new life! This is now something I use every single day!
The original window frame that caught my eye was wonderfully chipped and distressed. The old paint was a pale gray/blue.
I added chicken wire to the back of the frame using a staple gun. Â Simply measure a section of chicken wire large than your space, and add several staples to secure. Then add wire picture hanger to the back in order to hang it on the wall. You could also add felt pads to the back if you are worried about it damaging your wall.
Simple hang your hook earrings from the chicken wire. You could also use opened up paper clips to hang necklaces. I can’t fit everything, but I hang my most favorite pieces for convenience and a little color!
I never realized how nice it would be to have my earrings organized as opposed to having them laying around mismatched in a jewelry box. It makes it so much easier to remember what you have and to easier to change it up!
I couldn’t resist how distressed and weathered the frame looked!  I like to think about the home this old piece used to be a part of and I feel lucky that it is now in mine. Love it.
