Peg Board Jewelry Organizer for Kids

I am back with another idea to help organize dress up stuff. I got the clothes organized with this little DIY project, this time I turned my attention to the huge box of jewelry that had turned into a giant knot. There was absolutely no way to reach in and grab a necklace to wear. Something had to be done.

Here is the finished product. So much better! If you want to see how I did it keep reading.





Collect supplies, frame, pegboard, spray paint, and pegboard accessories. I already had everything I needed except the peg board baskets which were $3 a piece.

Lets get started:

I got this frame from a garage sale last summer for $1, then I cut the peg board my mom gave me to size to fit in the frame.


Attach the peg board to the inside of the frame with Gorilla Glue and apply some weight.


Ready for some primer and paint. If you know you are going to paint your peg board a different color than your frame, paint each piece before you glue them together, but in true Fawn form I changed my mind after I had them together.


So I painted the pegboard first, and then covered it with some magazine pages, then painted the frame.

Now it was time to move on to my pegboard accessories, baskets and hangers. Of course I forgot to take a couple of pictures, but the baskets started out black and the hangers were metal. I primed and then spray painted them Watermelon by Kylon.


Here we are all painted and installed. There is a basket for rings, a basket for bracelets, and hangers for necklaces.


I also added a mirror that I spray painted to the space so Grace can admire her fancy self.




Of course Spiderman wanted in on the action, and yes he wears this almost everyday, all day.



This was such a cheap easy solution. I might embellish the frame a little, but for now I am happy.

Now if I can get them to use it. That always seems to be the trick.
