How do you hang all of your necklaces?


I couldn't tell you how many times I have been asked "Where do you put all of your necklaces?" Well I keep it pretty simple. My necklaces don't have to add sparkle to just my outfits but they are also my bedrooms decorations!



Lets start with the first jewelry holder I made. I saw a pin on Pinterest to take an old spice rack to hold nail polish but I had the idea to have it hold my jewelry. So my Mom had this old spice rack. I spray painted it black and then I went and got scrapbooking paper and cut it to fit in each space. I then decoupaged the scrapbook paper in. I got c hooks and screwed those in the bottom. On the spice rack spaces I hold my gaudy rings and bracelets. 

The 2 outer necklace holders I created all on my own. Everything I bought at Hobby Lobby. I went in the wood section and got the 2 plaques and 6 knobs. I spray painted the plaques and knobs, once everything was dry I twisted the knobs in and glued them to make sure they stay put. Done simple and easy.




The above necklace holder I actually bought about a year ago from The Container Store. I believe it is suppose to be a tie holder but perfect for all of my necklaces. My collection of necklaces grew and had to buy another one recently. 


This necklace holder my Mom made for me. It was originally suppose to be a shadow box and screwed in c hooks and now it sits perfectly on my dresser.

Guady Bling

My friends got the idea in my head that I should create a blog about jewelry almost a year ago. At the time I was still in school and had a lot going on with work. So I decided once I finished my Masters that I would start one. So here it is. Gaudy Bling Obsessed! I have always love jewelry especially necklaces.  I mean look here are pictures from when I was younger to prove it.


And even today I love jewelry. 





In this blog I will be sharing about all of my jewelry. How I travel with my jewelry, how I display my jewelry, my necklace challenge, where I buy my jewelry, and anything else that you want to hear about.  Please leave comments with what you want to hear about.

Also check out my Instagram (matravis14) where I post about my jewelry.
