Picture This

I have seen several posts on Pinterest showing cute little ways to organize and store your jewelry.  Of course, I intended to follow the directions and make my own.  That is until I was shopping in Kohls and found a cute framed memo board on sale. I love a sale!! I also love the distressed look of this particular board.  It has since gone into clearance and is very hard to find.

 The memo board was a great find, but what I stumbled upon next was an even greater find.  Because the board's padding was so thick, I came upon a conundrum in finding some kind of tack that would actually stick out enough to hang my jewelry from .  Then I thought about the dry wall hooks my parents had given me a while back.  Because of their curve, they were perfect!

These little gems are called Hercules Hooks.  I guess they may not be tried and true for hanging pictures from your dry wall, but they are great for hanging necklaces!  They work best in thickly padded memo-boards.  However, I also use them in my thinner "travel boards" that I use when taking my necklaces to show potential customers. The thinner backing can cause them to slide down a little, but they still seem to work just fine.  

  I have seen them listed as being sold at Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens, and I am guessing most home improvement stores.  Happy hanging!
