Simple 1x4 Jewelry Organizer Shelf

Why I Built This Jewelry Organizer

I live in a rental and am not able to hang things on the wall but needed a place to organize my jewelry so my necklaces weren't constantly tangled up. I came up with this countertop organizer for all the pretty little things and it has made picking out my jewelry for the day so much more fun! After building it, I have decided to build more to give as gifts.

 

How I Built This Project

Here's how I built this jewelry organizer using 1x4 boards,  some 1x2s and pegboard - all scrap wood I had leftover from various projects!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Building Tips

• I predrilled the cup hook holes before staining and adding the back. Make sure you don't go all the way through the top when pre-drilling.
• I used a scrap piece of foam board, wrapped it in burlap(taped it) and set it in the bottom section for stud earring storage.
• The enclosed storage at the bottom is perfect for a little plant or other accessories.
• This plan is easy to modify for size, add shelves, add a dowel for bracelet or watch storage, paint and stain to customize. Lot's of options with this one!

Three Month Easy to Rotate Wall Calendar Shelf

Why I Designed This Project

We've tried so many different calendar ideas - from paper calendars, to giant desktop paper calendars - I tried syncing electronic calendars, and wall mounted dry erase.  Nothing ever solved all the problems and was easy to use.

Yesterday, I was out shopping and saw 14" x 14" square dry erase calendars on the shelf.

And the project just came to me, right there in the store aisle.  I could see it, see how it worked, I knew exactly to build. 

Twelve board feet of 1x6 and four board feet of 1x3, and eighteen screw later, I built this!

 

Why this is the Best Wall Calendar System Ever

We've struggled for years with so many different calendar ideas and products.  Here's why this calendar is the best system we've ever had:

• Calendars set on a shelf, so can be easily removed to edit and change
• 3 month calendar, so you are able to add events and plans to the next month, and the month after, without having to take notes, flip pages or other hassles
• Easily transition to the next month by simply removing the top calendar and erasing, then moving the two lower calendars up, and then adding the now blank calendar to the bottom, preserving all your plans and appointments
• Displayed clearly on the wall for all to see at all times
• Beautiful solid wood design adds a decor element to your space
• It's only one thing to hang - not multiple items to hang
• Narrow profile fits in narrow spaces, even the side of the fridge
• Shelf is big enough to hold the dry erase markers
• Eco-friendly - stop buying throw away calendars
• Long term solution - you can replace the square dry erase calendars easily if needed

This calendar system is going to help us keep our times organized and make plans well in advance.
