How-to: Rustic Knob Jewelry Holder

So this is a how-to, but after unfortunate events of Leighton tripping in the parking lot, while I was car shopping, and scraping up her leg-we did not get to go to Hobby Lobby which was my next stop on my errands list when I started this blog Sunday. Therefore, I am going to show you a how-to of the finished product that I was going to make that I had already made (tongue twister.) It is a...rustic knob jewelry holder.

I loveee my original one that I made. I will hang it up in my house whenever I move out. It does not fit my current decor of purple Paris (the theme of my current bedroom that I decorated when I was 14). I am long over-due for a remodel hah. I am 23 now. Okay enough rambling. Here is how to make the most beautiful rustic shabby chic almost country themed knob jewelry holder...

Gather supplies:
-One slab of 2x4 wood, it can be old, new, blue, white, or whatever you want that wood to look like. It can be 4 feet long or a foot long. The wood characteristic is up to you. You can distress it with a sander, beat it up a little bit, paint it (don't forget a primer) a certain color, or stain it.
-A drill
-A table saw or picture frame hook and screws:I'll explain later-Hook from hobby lobby
-However many door knobs you need-If you can find them at the thrift store than go there although they go fast and are very hard to find, if this is the case Hobby Lobby or World Market has them all in all shapes and sizes ranging in price around $3
-With every door knob you will need a nut-Home Depot or they might come with the knob

Step 1: After you have made your slab of wood to your liking and choosing, you are going to need to get out your drill. An extra supply could be a ruler. Along a vertical line on the wood, make as many holes with the drill as you have knobs. (I unfortunately do not have this step in a picture)

Step 2: Now you need to make a place to be able to hang your piece at the end. You can use a saw to create the indention in the wood below...

Or, you can get a picture frame hook and drill it into the wood with your fitting nails and your drill.

Step 3: Now you are going to insert your knobs through the hole you made for them. Here are a couple of pictures of the knobs I have chosen!

 Step 4: Now you are going to screw the nut onto the back of the knob and twist until the knob is secure.

Step 5: If needed, saw off the end of knob if it goes past the wood to where you cannot hang it up on the wall it is too long. (Only do this step if you have this problem)

Step 6: Hang it up and apply necklaces, like this door knob hanger!

And you are done; you officially have a door knob hanger like mine. You might have to brave some tools, but other than that this project is super easy! Hope you enjoyed!

There will be a new fabulous project next week, and I ordered a bunch of stuff of Esty for my grad party that I cannot wait to show you guys when it comes in.

Also, my graduation announcements came in the mail today!! I got to get the suckers done and sent out! I also had my boss give me free tickets to take Leighton to see The Lion King at the Fox Theater in Atlanta this weekend. These tickets are not too shabby either. I have to say I am one lucky girl.

I hope you all have a wonderful week!!!
