Necklace Holder

Hanging Necklaces

For years I have jammed my necklaces in ziplock bags, hung them inside cupboards doors or used other contraptions all of which never really worked......until now. I found this idea on pinterest and I decided to create my own necklace holder. I went to Lowe's Home Improvement Store and purchased 2 towel bars and 2 packs of double hook showers curtain holders. The double hook part is amazing because I can put and necklace and matching bracelet on the same hook without over crowding. I would recommend this idea to ANYONE!
