Pinterest Inspiration: Jewelry Display from a Rake

Sorry about not posting this yesterday!  This last couple weeks of pregnancy are putting my brain through the ringer...SO much to do!

I feel like I'm cheating using this as my How-To Tuesday project this week...but I love the way this worked out!!

Not too long ago, on Pinterest,  I saw this cool old rake that had been used as a jewelry hanger!  Genius!

Ever since I made my Burlap Earring Display organizer (which I STILL LOVE...it's soooo perfect!), I've been trying to figure out how to get all of my necklaces...and other earrings...out of a huge tangled mess in my drawer.

This was perfect!

Then, I just happened to remember that we happened to have the head of a cool old rake, hanging up in our shed out back!  You all know how I love a good repurposed/upcycled project...plus this is vintage....Ooooooooh!

Yipee!!

I just cleaned it off a little, tied a length of jute twine around the top part of the rake, so that I could hang my hoop and lobster-claw-style earrings to it, and then mounted the rake head onto the door of my closet!

Ta-Da!!!


It works perfectly!  And no more tangled necklaces!!!! 
(Plus it's out of reach of my youngest, who has a tendency to wander off with my nice jewelry!)

So, if you are lucky enough to have an old rake lying around, give this a try!!  So simple...and it looks fantastic!!!
