Necklace Holder DIY

This weekend I was finally able to take hold of my craving from crafting. I have been dreaming about a simple way to display my favorite gems. With a little paint and a glue gun I made my dream come alive this weekend. Enjoy!

 I had a blank 16" by 20" canvas lying around that was dying for a little color.
 I took some acrylic paint and did a loose striped pattern across the canvas. I wanted to keep the design simple to not take away from the detail of the necklaces that would hang form the completed project.
 With a glue gun, I took relatively large picture hooks (with flat backs) and glued them to the dry canvas. I covered the nail hole on each picture hook with a faceted bead for extra pizzazz.
 Let your favorite jewels become art on a wall. Don't just let them sit in a box, display them.
