Here at Craft Corners, we love re-purposing things we have lying around the house into useful new items. We look high and low for unexpected sources of inspiration. Today’s inspiration comes from an item you might find in your own home: a kitchen pasta drying rack! If you find that you’re not using yours for whatever reason, whether you’ve cut down on carbs or you don’t have much time to cook anymore, wipe off that dust and get ready to get crafty.

One of many great ways you can use a pasta drying rack is by turning it into a necklace rack. Here is what you’ll need to make one:

• A wooden pasta drying rack
• Aerosol primer
• Spray paint for wood in a color of your choice
• Clear sealant spray

What to do:

1. Make sure your pasta drying rack is clean. If it’s not, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe of any dirt or dust.
2. Apply a coat of aerosol primer to your wooden pasta drying rack, followed by spray paint and clear sealant spray. Follow all of the instructions on the spray cans, and allow plenty of time to dry between adding coats of spray paint and clear sealant spray.

Your necklace rack is now ready to use! Enjoy keeping your favorite necklaces organized and on display. Don’t forget to add an adorable hugs and kisses pendant necklace!
