LOST ONE!!

i know, i know, where the heck have i been right? well, very very busy!! sorry for not updating!! i do have alot of new stuff to put up so just bare with me. =)

Bulletin Board Project

If your anything like me you need to have things in your face at all times or else you forget about them. i buy so many things and stuff then in my closet and never even get to wear them because i forget they are in there. im too lazy to look through things unless i need something in particular so i like to have things where i can see them and easily get to them so i wont have to dig around. my accessories storage was really bugging me because all my necklaces would get tied up and it was a mission looking through each bin. i felt like i couldn't get any more accessories because i wasn't wearing any of the ones i already had. i solved that yesterday. =) i went out in search of a jewelry box; but came up with a better idea. i bought a plain bulletin board at walmart for about 9 dollars; its pretty good sized; and decided to turn it into a jewelry display; that way everything is hanging; visible; and easy to access. i painted the board black using acrylic paint in "shiny black". while getting the board; i found lady bug adornments and got 1 for each corner. i stuck them on the board using wood glue.

here is my finished board =) i went for shiny black because i wanted the board to really stick out from the lady bugs; and shiny is always better than matte! lol

After wrapping up painting the board; i wanted to give it a little more jazz since it was kind of plain; so i grabbed my white and yellow paint and drew flowers all around the boarders. i didnt make them anything perfect; because they just didnt have to be.

so this is the board after adding all the flowers; adorable right?



after i got it hung up; i took thumb tacks and evenly spaced them out on the board; i took all my accessories and organized all my earrings in 2 craft organizer that i bought at walmart; and decided to only hang necklaces on the board; i hung a pair of earrings or two that were too big for the organizer and a bracelet that wouldnt fit either. i gave tons of the stuff i knew i wouldnt use to my sister because there is no point in collecting things you know you wont use. now that i can actually get to my stuff easier; im gonna buy another board and go out and get some accessories.
what do you guys think? are you gonna make your own boards?
