My jewellery gets so tangled up when it's in a box or a drawer so I'd been wanting a neat way to hang it. I noticed a few people using branches as necklace hangers and couldn't wait to make my own display to hold all of my jewellery.

1
Start by finding a frame you love. I got a long rectangular one from Ikea. Pick a few branches which will work well.
-
2
Lay the branches across the frame to find the right width.
-
3
Use a Dremel to cut the branch.
-
4
Repeat for as many branches as you'd like in your display.
-
5
Paint the branches white or any colour you'd like.
-
6
Mark where you'd like the top branch to go on either side of the frame.
-
7
Draw a circle to match the thickness of the branch.
-
8
Use the dremel to carefully drill a shallow hole where the branch will go. It's best to drill a small amount, test your branch and then drill a bit more until it fits perfectly.
-
9
Test your branch to make sure it fits snuggly.
-
10
Use the jewellery to help you decide where each of the lower branches should be position and repeat the previous steps to drill holes in the frame.
-
11
Mark where you'd like each of the nails to be positioned on the branch with a pencil.
-
12
Use a pointy tool to make a hole for your nails.
-
13
Hammer the nails in place until they're secured.
-
14
Use a hot glue gun to stick the branches in to your frame.
-
15
I used sewing pins instead of nails for a few branches to hole pendants.
