DIY Tree Necklace Hanger

After purchasing some new necklaces recently,  I realised that I had nowhere to hang them. I didn't want to nail any more holes into the walls or pay for an elaborate jewellery stand so I decided to go on Pinterest and look for a DIY solution. The results mostly consisted of projects that required nailing something into the wall but after a bit of scrolling I found a DIY solution that used small tree branches! The picture I saw looked so pretty and whimsical as well so I decided to do it. I went outside my apartment and looked around on the ground like a crazy person, and I found some branches within a few minutes. 



I used an old pasta sauce jar as the "vase", and painted it using copper acrylic paint I got for 3€. I put packaging peanuts in the vase to support the tree branches so they would stand upright. You can also use coffee beans. As you can see, most of my necklaces are quite short (apart from the one hanging on the wall, that's why it's hanging on the wall haha), so I didn't need big or long tree branches, but if you have long necklaces then you'll probably need to find something a bit more substantial than what I found. But I'm really loving this DIY necklace hanger - it was incredibly easy, quick to do, and cheap!
