To make this 36″ x 21.5″ jewelry display you’d need;

Materials

3 – 1″ x 8″ wood panels that are 4ft long cut to 3ft.

6 – 3″ Mending Plates, corresponding screws

2 – 8″ Mending Plates, corresponding screws

Screws depending on whether your knobs came with them or not

Washers, Nuts – In case the knob screws are too long

1 Driftwood Weathering Finish packet

Foam Brush

Medium grit Sand paper

Picture Hanging Hardware

Method

With the medium grit sand paper lightly sand the good side (the side you’ll be working on) of the wood panels. This will break up/ take off the protective coating on the panels, which will in turn help the DIY driftwood finish adhere better.

Mix the Driftwood weathering finish packet with water as per instructions.

Place the panels over your work surface aka. on a heap of old newspapers in your family room and brush the finish on. In the pic below the first panel does not have any coat on while the other two have a coat of the driftwood finish on.

You can see the color difference even better in the below pic.

After 2 coats the panels were looking a lot darker from where we started. Make sure to coat the sides too as these will be visible.

I wanted the piece to be darker so I added two more coats (4 coats in all). I think the extra 2 coats made all the difference. Love how the driftwood finish brings out the knots and dents in the wood.

Once the panels are dry turn them upside down and screw on the mending plates. This pic is before we screwed on the longer mending plates.

Arrange the knobs on the piece till you are pleased with it.

Once you’ve the arrangement down, mark the spots, and screw the knobs and pulls on.

Hang in the room with picture hanging hardware.
