    Hi Alison,

    My daughter pins hers to a cork notice board and keeps some on hooks arranged at different levels on the back of her door. Just had another thought...would a tie rack help?

    Wow, Alison you have just read my mind!! I bought a really long necklace in the New Look sale for £2 and thinking I have a few now, I need storage as they are all getting tangled up and I cant unknot them for the life of me!!!

    Spooky...

    My sister has one of those lamps that looks like a tree and has tiny bulbs on the end of the branches.. she hangs hers over them..
    He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.


    If you really cant knit very well, then practise drumming with the needles...

    2 cup hooks, screwed to the inside of your wardrobe door, with string stretched between :) also good for belts!

    I had a plain mirror from Ikea (about £1 I think) and stuck some small hooks from a picture hanging kit (again about £1) to it. (the pic is after I attacked it with paint & paper, it was pine to start with)

    I love the hanging rail idea for inside a wardrobe door, but the John Lewis one is a bit expensive at £26.

    What about THIS one from Ikea with THESE matching storage hooks?

    Hi, I use the cork board idea with pins to hang the necklaces on. Then I put it on the inside of the wardrobe door, so when I pull out something to wear I can see my necklaces / bracelets at the same time. I hasten to add that these are not precious jewels - more like necklaces that you buy from the highstreet - Next, New Look etc.

    At the weekend we went to Ikea and bought our daughter 2 hook-things for just this purpose.

    They are called FLANG and cost 2.29. They are about 8 inches long and have 4 knobby hooks on them. Hers are birch wood with silver knobs but you could also get them in black. It fixes to the wall with 2 screws.
