Jewelry Board

Howdy!  In the spirit of Mother's Day, I started (and finished) a nagging project. 

Frankly, the project in question is not worth writing about.  However, the jewelry board is fun-nish and a great reason to take a break :)

Several years ago, in twisted necklace-induced desperation and zero budget frenzy; meet the temporary solution (12 years later):

Once again, my weird passion for quilting material comes in handy! When I came across this rustic pattern, the rich look of leather struck a cord. It's a beautiful backing for a new jewelry board. $10 for a cork board, tea cup hooks and thumbtacks (thank you Big Lots).

After removing the frame from cork board, it was fairly easy to wrap the material over the front and tack down in back.

The teacup hooks are a bit sharp at the tip of the screw; working like a needle on the material. Careful not to press to hard. Gently twist into the cork until flush with board. Hint: 2 hooks 2" apart are perfect for bracelets & headbands!
