Pottery Barn Inspired Rustic Jewelry Holder

Hi there! Thanks for checking out my latest post! I saw a picture of this Pottery Barn Jewelry Holder awhile back, and knew I had to come up with my own DIY version! This is a quick and easy build, and would make a perfect gift!

I used my table saw to rip a 1″x4″ board into 1″ and 3/4″ strips, then cut them down to size. You can also buy craft wood if you don’t want to rip boards. It is always sold out at the Home Depot I go to, so I just make my own 🙂 They are technically 3/4″ thick, so I refer to them as 3/4″ x 3/4″ and 3/4″ x 1″, but anything close will work!

Here’s what I used to build mine-

2- 3/4″ x 3/4″ @ 12″

2- 1″ x 3/4″ @ 12″

2- 1″ x 3/4″ @ 9 1/2″

2- 3/4″ x 3/4″ scrap pieces @ 3/4″

1- 1/2″ x 1/16″ flat aluminum bar @ 12″

1- 1/4″ round aluminum bar @ 12″

10- 1″ panel nails

2- 3/4″ screws

1- Sawtooth Hanger

*Both aluminum bars came in 36″ lengths, which I cut with the chop saw- so I can make 3 of these 😉

Once I made all of my cuts, I drilled the holes in the 9 1/2″ pieces where the bracelet bar with slide in and out. The bar is 1/4″, so I used a 5/16″ bit. You can space these however you’d like, but I drilled mine 2 1/2″ from the end.Next, I drilled holes in the flat steel bar. This is the earring holder, so you can space them however you’d like- I drilled a hole on each end that will attach to the frame, about 3/8″ from the ends, then starting 1 1/2″ from each end, I drilled a hole every 1/2″. It worked best to set the bar on a scrap piece of wood.

Then, I lightly sanded the bar and all of my wood pieces.I decided to finish everything before assembling to make it easier. I used 2 of my favorites!Once everything was dry, I added nails to the 2- 3/4″ x 3/4″ x 12″ pieces. I added 5 nails to each, every 2 inches, but you can add more or less however you’d like 🙂 I left them sticking out enough to hang necklaces and rings on, but secure enough they won’t fall out.Then, set those aside, and assemble your main frame. I love using my hot glue gun to secure little things like this while I nail them together.Next, take your flat piece of metal and add it towards the top, making sure to pre drill your holes so you don’t split the wood. Attach with 3/4″ screws. I put the top of mine 1 1/8″ from the top of the frame.Now, it’s time to add your little scrap pieces. This will set one of your bars out enough to let necklaces go behind it. Again, I like to secure with my glue gun before nailing, but you can also use wood glue and nail together.Now, it’s time to attach the 2 pieces with the nails. One goes on top of those scrap pieces you just added, the other I put with the top 4 3/4″ up from the bottom of the frame. Now, we just need to add a sawtooth hanger to the back! Hot glue and nail it in the center on the back of the frame.
