DIY branch necklace organiser

I saw this idea on pinterest a while ago and immediately knew I wanted to recreate it. Then a few weeks ago on one of our walks, I FINALLY remembered to look out for the perfect necklace-organiser-making-branch and it was surprisingly easy to find once you start looking.

It’s so easy to make that I didn't take step by step pictures – plus I was a it too excited to get it finished and on the wall. First,  find a nice (dry) stick and snap to size, then take a length of parcel string tie and around each end on branch (I went for a double length to make it slitghly stronger) finally, hang on wall.

I love it! The boyfriend is not so convinced, his reaction was something along the lines of “Umm, it’s a stick”, but I think he appreciated that it was free at least.

I’ve also seen curtain poles made out of bigger branches and really want to try that too, but we should probably wait until we have our own place, not sure the landlord would be too impressed if I took down the nice conventional curtain poles we have now...

  1. This is such a great idea! Also, thanks for visiting my blog, otherwise I would never have found yours and would be missing out on some nice adventures! Now I want to go to the Lake District (and Miss Potter's house) even more! xx

  4. This is such a lovely idea! I have all my necklaces stored in clear organiser boxes but a branch is a much more beautiful way of storing them.
    Like Mel above though, I'd need several (or a very long one) - wonder if I can convince the other half that instead of pictures above our bed, we should just have one big branch with all my necklaces! Not sure he'd be too impressed :-) x

    1. Sadly they don't seem to be such a hit with boys, they just don't 'get it'! :) x
