Sorry, it's very dark in my room, but look what I made! My necklaces were taking over my jewelry tree in a way that was unhelpful, so I've been looking for an alternative. They have some options at Michael's, but they either require stacking the necklaces or don't hold enough. A belt or tie rack with smaller pegs is what I was envisioning, but I couldn't find that, and decided to just make my own. I finally went to Home Depot today to turn in a CFL bulb for recycling, and decided to be super productive while I was there. I found a lumber guy and explained my plan, thinking I just needed to know what type and thickness of wood I'd need, and how far apart to put the nails to keep it from splitting. Right away, he suggested MDF instead to avoid that problem. Aha! I did have to buy a 2' x 2' sheet, but he cut two boards for me, and I've got the leftover. I bought finishing nails and some D rings for picture hanging. I thought would paint it, but I'm kind of liking it as is.
I lied- this wasn't today. I just forgot to finish the blog.
