Magnetic Necklace Bar

Easy Way to Hang and Organize Necklaces

• I was looking at jewelry boxes and realized my main requirement was a clever way to hang my necklaces.  
• But nothing was built to hold several necklaces without potential over crowding and probable tangles.

• As I drove home from the store with no jewelry box, I started picturing ways to solve the problem. 
• I came up with one concept that I would need: 
• access to a C.A.D. program to properly design it
• And the help of my CAD buddy Brooke, we passed that class in tandem
• We also ate a lot of toast and dreamed about skipping school and driving straight to the beach
• We didn't do it, 
• But man it was tempting being 16, having a car and being up so early for zero period.
• Would need to create a mold for it. 
• I thought it through and was very tired. 
• So that will sit on my mental shelf for now. 
• Dreams of Shark Tank snuggled up against it.
• But this other idea also came, and seemed more doable.

• My first LA roommate had a bar she hung her necklaces on, but there was a very delicate removal process as you lifted the proper one up, undid the clasp and made it abandon it's fairly clingy brothers. 
• So, I wondered if I could add magnets to the equation. 
• Truthfully, if I could, I would add magnets to everything. 
• They are just so much easier.
• And here are the results.

• I bought wooden rods 
• they came in a pack, so I promised my mom if she liked the design I would make her this too.
• Wooden Dowel Rods - 1/2" x 36" Bag of 10

• Magnetic Twist Ties, 
• this came from a long search on amazon for ribbon with magnets. 
• They come in an affordable multi pack. 
• And bonus they came in these lovely colors.
•  8pcs Earphone Cable Winders

• I had ribbon 3 yards of a wide ribbon 
• I did a loose twist around the bar, 
• If you want no bar showing consider adding in an another yard
• 2 non wall harming hooks that could hold the rod 
• I had a few of these left over from another project
• Fealkira 13.2lb Adhesive Hooks

•  A couple yards of thin ribbon. 
• Cut into strips.
• Guessing completely on the length because these are recycled from another project completely and were already cut as well.

• I tied the wider ribbon on one end of the stick and then played with the wrap til I found a way that worked.
• I found keeping it looser made it better 
• Then tied off the other end. 
• You can also re-enforce this with a little hot glue.

• Next I tied the smaller ribbons on with a double knot. 
• OPTIONAL: If you want to do it with out the magnetic ties a couple options are:
• Put a second knot into the ribbons. 
• This way they can hold anything you clasp on. 
• Or keep them hanging loose and tie on your necklaces with simple bows. 
• But keep them LOOSE if you are adding the magnets, I may have had to undo them all because I got ahead of myself.

Only do the second knot if you aren't using the magnets

If you are using the magnets leave it like this

• Add the new cool magnetic toys. 
• I double knotted them in up close to the bar then wrapped the ribbon up around the bar for another double knot. 

• Put them all on there.

• And at the end you have something that works like this.
