If any of you collegiettes are like me, you have way too many necklaces and nowhere to put them. The racks that you can buy online and in stores are often too small. So they end up piled up all over apartments – hung off door handles, piled on dressers and strewn across desks. This harsh treatment can quickly lead to tangles and chain breaks, which are dire consequences for any budding fashionista. Luckily for you, I have a cheap an easy solution that looks great and isn’t hard to complete. All it takes is a trip to the hardware store and a little bit of wall space.
Supplies:
- 4 to 6 drawer pulls or knobs
- BildEX easy anchor twists (size 6-8)
- Vice
- Hacksaw
First step – Use the hacksaw to saw off the heads of the screws that come with the knobs. You need something that can screw into the knob and into the anchor into your wall. This will make it look like a long screw that doesn’t have anywhere to put a screwdriver.
Second step – Drill holes into your wall using the screws that came with the anchors. Remove the screws from the wall.
Third step – Hammer the plastic anchors into the wall.
Fourth step – Screw the knob onto the headless screws and twist those into the anchors.
And finally, celebrate your brilliance and handiness girl! You did it. You’ll never have trouble keeping your jewelry safe and gorgeous again.
