Yesterday I ended one of the last remaining projects on the perimeter cabinets of my walk-in closet. I built the first part of my DIY jeweler organizer – the jewelry drawer with the top of the glass. This drawer takes place especially for earrings, rings, bracelets, trailers, etc. I have not yet added the individual compartments to the drawer. That’s why I put a few of my current jewelry organizers in the drawer so that we could get an idea of what it will look like. And of course it still has to be prepared, cooled and painted in front of the rest of the cupboards.
In this sense, the entire setup looks right now.
When I finished the drawer last night, I was not sure if I wanted to add the front to the front. But this morning I decided that I will probably add this tiny cladding to the drawer to give her a little more.
And I also haven’t selected any drawer and closet hardware for the room. As soon as I have selected this, I add two or two buttons to the drawer. I can’t decide whether I want to use something very special or whether I just want to keep it with the drawers and the doors. I’m still looking.
So let me show you how I built this jewelry organizer. I started determining the height of the glass shelf and cut and took a 1 “X2” directly behind the cabinet cladding in this closet.
And then I added the frame around the sides and the back of the cupboards. To construct the entire frame, I used two layers of 1 “X2” wood on the front, two layers of 1 “X2” wood on each side and only a 1 “X2” on the back of the cabinet. I nailed all of these with 16-gauge nails in my nail gun. And you can see that the second 1 -inch piece on the front of the frame was sitting flush with the front cladding on the closet.
I had a little in front of me and started adding wood fillers before I took the pictures, but you can still see the general construction.
With this basic framework, it looked here in the cabinet. The opening inside this frame has the exact size of the glass I ordered and about 1/8-inch in every direction, so that I have 1/16-inch wacking area on all four sides of the glass …
And then I had to add the support for the glass. To do this, I used my table saw to parts of 1 “X2” wood (which are actually 1.5 inches wide and not 2 inches wide), so that they were 1.25 “wide and 1/2” thick. I cut those with my miter saw on the right lengths that fit in this frame, and then I attached them so that the lower edges of these pieces were flush with the lower edges of the frame and left a 1/4-inch rabbi over it to support my 1/4-inch glass.
I got myself a little with the wood filler in front of me, but I think you can still see the general construction. So I had two layers of 1 “x 2” wood (which are actually 1.5 inches wide) on the front and on the sides, and exactly in those that I attached a layer to 1.25 “x 0.5”.
As soon as this frame was built with the rabbit, I tested the adjustment of the glass. It was perfect!
After testing the adjustment of the glass, I removed it for safe storage and built the drawer that I consisted of 1/2-inch blocking wood.
I did not photograph the process to build the drawer just because I have built so many drawers in the past that you can refer to if you need this information.
Before building the drawer box, I installed the drawer slides. To ensure that my drawer slides would extinguish the side panels on the cupboards, I first set pieces of 1 “X3” wood (actually 3/4 “x 2.5”) behind the front cabinet decoration directly under the glass workstation frame, with 16-goods nails, and then I installed the draftsman slides on this 1 “X3” pieces. Then I measure the distance between the drawers of object carriers (this distance for this drawer was 42 5/8 inches), and I built my drawer to adapt this width. The external dimensions of the finished drawer box are 42 5/8 “x 16”.
And finally, i cut a piece of 1 ″ x4 ″ (Actual Size is 3/4 ″ x 3.5 ″) Pre-primed lumber to use as the drawer Front, and i Attached it to the Front of the drawer box, first tacking it into place using 18-gauge nails, and then screwing IT to the DRAWER Front Using 1 ″ Wood Screws that Are Screwed Through the Inside of the Drawer Box and Into the Back of the Drawer Front to Secure It Into Place.
And with that, the basic building of my jewelry drawer was ready with the GLA worktop!
I am as proud of how it turned out. I have to admit that I was nervous because of this project because I had never built something like that, and I knew that it had to be just right so that it didn’t look like an obvious DIY project. But it turned out exactly as I had imagined.
And of course it will look even better if everything is cast and painted. I have not yet decided how I want to adjust my DIY drawer organizer. I know that most customer -specific jewelry drawers are lined with velvet or something fate, but I really don’t have the patience or the desire to spend days of my time to cover small pieces of wood to create small, velvety -lined compartments. It’s just not that important to me. So I thought about just the bottom of the drawer with velvet or velvet or or similar (if I can find a good coordinating color at all) and then paint the wood that mashes the small compartments in the same color.
Or I could just paint the whole and do without the unusual velvet. If I do it all times, I thought it could be fun to paint it into one of the corals that I tested for the cupboards to add a hint of a coordinating color to this area. Finally, the section of the cabinet is wallowed directly above this glass radiation plate, so it looks great that this coral color is included with this drawer.
I am so excited about how it turned out. This project was actually so much easier than I thought.
But I think I have to add something trim to the drawer front to make it clear that it is a drawer. The addition of drawers naturally also clearly draw that it is a drawer.
And now is the last thing I have to build to end my jewelry storage, the necklace storage, which runs directly under the jewelry drawer in the open department. I’m still trying to develop the details of it. I think I almost have it, but I’m not quite there yet.
And I also have to find out the details about how I want to end the interior of this DIY jewelry organizer – how many subjects, how many of every size, what color/finish etc. is, but the most difficult part is done.
