Weekend Project: Jewelry Hanger

Last weekend I finally made something I've wanted to make for a while. I looked everywhere for the perfect shadow box frame, and since I don't have access to a circular saw anymore I couldn't make my own. Then, two weekends ago while I was crashing yard sales with my friend, I finally found it... the perfect shadow box, untreated wood and everything. So here's what I did with it.

1): I took the back panel apart. Then I spray painted the back panel and the frame:


2): I glued foam to about 1/4 of the back panel. Then I covered the entire panel with linen using a staple gun.


3) I put the back panel and frame together using wood glue.


4) I drilled holes into the back panel and screwed in mismatched door knobs I found at Hobby Lobby. Then I hung my jewelry. Voila! Finally have all my jewelry hanging in one place.
