Necklace Shelves

I don't know about you, but my necklaces and bracelets usually end up in a tangled, horrible mess in my jewelery box. And then I never wear them, because I don't feel like untangling them.

Enter: the necklace shelf! It fills in an empty space on my wall that has been staring at me, and reminds me that I should really wear some of this jewelry some time.

Materials:
- 4" wide wood (6" long per shelf)
- push-pin style wall hooks
- screws and appropriate wall mounting method
- glue
- stain
- small nails

Tools:
- ruler/measuring tape
- saw
- hammer
- drill
- sand paper 

Step 1 Cut the wood, sand, and pre-drill

I made my shelves 5" deep, with a 1" piece below for the hooks, and I made four shelves at once.

1) Measure out, and mark your length of wood.
2) Hold the wood still in some way and cut out your pieces.
3) Sand off the rough edges and any corners that you would like rounded
4) Decide where the 1" piece will be attached to the wall and pre-drill some small holes. I also drilled a larger diameter hole to allow the screws I was using to sit flush with the wood.

Very nicely done. Your picture of the four shelves with candles on them is, to me, a much nicer representation of the project than the picture you have as your main picture.
