Repurposing

I’ve been keeping an eye out for useful items to scavenge, and trying to think of creative ways to reuse things.  When I saw this message board lying by the dumpers I got my chance.  I thought of the tangled mess of cheap jewelry I’ve collected through the years and how nice it would be to hang them all up.  I didn’t have cute little hooks to use which would have been ideal.  For now, I used thumb tacks to hold each item up.  When I find my push pins I’ll upgrade the board to those, because then I can hang the items right on the pin heads rather than removing them each time.  I just hid this board behind my bedroom door, which is always open, where it’ll be out of sight.  I’m pretty happy with my free organizer :)

    Have you looked at the book “One Yard Wonders”? The show a pin board covered with fabric that would make you not want to hide it anymore!
