MW's DIY: Necklace Board

Hey Whirlers!

Hope you`re all well and have entered my blog giveaway!

On with the post:

As a hijabi, I love wearing long necklaces as its perfect to show after my hijab has covered my chest, so I tend to buy a few, but they always get tangled up and I totally got fed up one day and I took a few pics to share with you on how I tackled this problem:

So, how did I resolve this?!

I actually lied, after I had edited this photo I had a look at the packet and it was 70p for 6 hooks.

I laid the board on a large flat surface (floor) and I laid the necklaces on the board, thinking, where it would look nice, etc. For shorter statement necklaces, I marked two hooks, so the shape could remain on the board, as you can see in the photos.

A nice and simple DIY that only took 5 minutes. You can obviously use different colour boards, but I already had a red lying around. If I really wanted to get rid of the red, I`d probably cover it with a cute material and reinsert the hooks.

If you put a lot of effort into your board and made it super pretty, it could easily be a feature in your room! 

How do you store your necklaces?

MW's Top Tip: Make Your Own Necklace

Hey Whirllers! :)

Anybody else like me, who before becoming a hijabi had GORGEOUS chandelier earrings, but can`t wear them now because of the hijab?

Well, worry not. You can now still wear them, without the burden of the weight straining on your earlobes!

Do what I did and makeshift them into a long necklace.

What you need:

- Gorgeous Earrings

- Long Chain

- Tiny hoop

- Pliers

What you do:
1. Remove the hook from the earring with the pliers.
2. From where you removed the hook, put the hoop in its place, with pliers. Ensure you tighten the hoop tightly so the earring won`t fall off.
(The hoop is important as this is what makes sure the earring is always facing the front.)
3. Put the tiny hoop (with earring attached to it) through the long chain.
4. Fasten and put on neck and see how gorgeous your chandelier earring is as a necklace.
