DIY Necklace Organizer (Please Help Me Finish Or Improve Upon This Design!)

Yesterday, I labored on constructing the ultimate piece of the perimeter cupboards in my walk-in closet — a DIY necklace organizer. For the final yr, I’ve been utilizing this quite simple DIY jewellery organizer that I made to sit down on the countertop in our lavatory.

So with that in thoughts, here’s what I got here up with. I constructed a drawer-type construction that doesn’t have a backside on it, put it on drawer slides, and added two closet rods contained in the construction. When it’s pushed into the cupboard, it appears like this…

After which it pulls out like a drawer so I can simply entry the necklaces…

The constructing course of was extremely easy. I ripped some 1/2-inch plywood (the identical plywood I used to construct my jewellery drawer) to 6 inches extensive, after which I minimize an extended piece for the again, and two brief items for the perimeters. I nailed these collectively utilizing 1.5-inch 18-gauge nails.

After which, to maintain these items sq., I ripped one other strip of 1/2-inch plywood to 2.5 inches extensive, minimize it to the right size on my miter noticed, and nailed that to the highest on the again in order that it was nailed into the highest edges of the perimeters items and the again piece.

After which I added the drawer slides, slid the construction into the cupboard, and added the closet rods. I used the identical closet rods that I’ll be utilizing for the hanging storage within the closet. You can find those here (affiliate hyperlink).

And naturally, I’ll be portray the entire thing the identical coloration as the cupboards, so it’ll mix in as soon as it’s painted.

I used to be anxious to see how it could look with all of my necklaces hanging on it, so I went forward and added these. I staggered the peak of the 2 bars, with the again bar about two inches increased than the entrance bar. And I do need to determine a manner so as to add tape lights underneath there. I believe it is going to look wonderful to have these lit from the again.

And right here’s what it appears like once they’re pulled out for straightforward entry.

General, I actually love the simplicity of the design. And it pulls out simply simply by grabbing the bar and pulling. So there’s no want to determine a manner so as to add any extra pulls.

I do know many individuals advised that I discover a option to deliver the necklaces as much as eye degree, however actually, I’m so brief that this may work out completely for me. I deliberately put in the glass countertop a bit increased than countertop top in order that the necklaces might be up a few inches increased than I had initially deliberate.

My top, plus the truth that it pulls out for straightforward entry, makes this design work out completely for me.

The one factor I’m uncertain about is the best way to end off these edges. Clearly, I can’t go away it like this with the sting of the plywood and the drawer slide exhibiting.

I’ve had two concepts for ending off these edges. The primary is to repeat the design that I used on the high of the cupboards…

There are a few points with that, however perhaps I might determine them out. First, these corbels on the high are 4.5 inches sq.. The body for the necklace organizer is six inches excessive. So if I attempt to repeat that design, the underside tail on it must be longer. I’m undecided if that might throw off the continuity of the design, or if it could work. Additionally, there’s nothing to nail that high edge to, so it could simply be free. I’m undecided if it could keep put. The one factor I’ve to nail it to is the six-inch-high fringe of the 1/2-inch plywood. Right here’s a mock-up I did of that potential design.

The best option to end it off could be to make use of a slim piece of wooden hooked up to the sting of that plywood. I examined out this concept utilizing a 1″x2″ (which is definitely 1.5″ extensive), but when I am going this path, I might rip that right down to just one″ extensive, which is all that I must cowl the sting of the plywood. I used my band noticed to spherical off the underside nook of the piece to see what that might seem like.

So these are the 2 concepts I had, however I do know that y’all are extremely artistic and will have a greater concept. If something involves thoughts, let me know! I need to maintain it easy, and I don’t need something to cowl the entrance of the necklaces.

If I can determine that last piece, I’ll formally have each single a part of the perimeter cupboards constructed. This necklace storage was the very last thing I had to determine and construct, and people ending touches on the necklace storage are the ultimate items of the puzzle.
