Bracelet Solutions


When I made my jewelry board I found I had a lot of bracelets.  Not only did I have too many, some were much too wide to fit on a pushpin.  My solution?  Well it may not be elegant, but it certainly does the trick.  A bit of wire is all you need!

STEPS:

The wire I used was 20 gauge and it's easy to find at any craft store.  This thickness seems to work well.  It is strong enough to hold up the bracelet weight, but flexible enough to be easily shaped.  I cut a length of about 5inches.
Wrap the end of the wire in a loop with pliers.  If you don't have any available you can probably just wrap the end around a pencil or something similar.
Twist the extra end back around the body of the wire so the sharp end doesn't stick out.
Repeat these steps with the other end of the wire and bend the wire in half to create a hook.


 The hook should easily fit your bracelets.

To pin just insect the pushpin into both of the loops.  Make sure you're careful when you remove it though - if you just pull out the pin the entire pile of bracelets will drop.

That's it!  It's that easy to organize your bracelets.
