Never mind, I got it. Yes, definitely hurts your hands screwing the hooks in, but worth the effort :) Thank you for the great idea! I just had a memo board sitting around that can finally be put to use.

How did you screw in the hooks? I just tried to screw them in by hand and there’s no way they are piercing the board…

Hi Deb, I definitely answer comments but I used to reply directly to people via email when they left a comment so they wouldn’t miss it. You’ll notice this post is from 2009. Now though I’ve got it set up so that when I comment/reply to someones comment on the blog it will also automatically email them as well so they know I’ve responded.

My sister-in-law used a piece of screen in a cool old picture frame (large) and has it hanging in her bathroom. She uses it primarily for earrings, and it looks fabulous! She doesn’t wear necklaces very often, so the solution is a good one for her. I have necklaces, and found in the craft (or maybe kids’?) section of WalMart some very large pushpins – large as in, have large “push” ends and thus the necklaces are less likely to slide off or fall off, like with small pushpins. They slide right into the memo board and seem to stay secure.

I’m not crazy about the hooks on the wall solution – I put the memo board on the inside of a closet door I don’t often need to open – i.e., I tend to open it only when I actually want to select or put away jewelry, so I’m not driven nuts by swinging jewelry every day. Helps the pieces not get so dusty, too.

I noticed some questions from people – does Laura ever reply to blog comments?

I love this idea! I had an old memo board that I wasn’t using and was desperate to find a better way to organize all my necklaces and bracelets. Took about 30 minutes to add some well placed hooks and it was perfect. Thanks for sharing!!!

I definitely want to make this! I’ve learned how to make a french memory board from a youtube video but what I don’t understand is how to put a screw through that? I thought about using drapery hooks but the screw hooks you used look A LOT better.

Here’s the video that I used to learn how to make the French Memo Board: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBXjouXto7k

So if you could tell me how to do it your way or how to put a screw through that, I would be really grateful! Thanks in advance!
