If you have a love for all things kitschy, you’ll appreciate the creative ideas popping up online for home decor. From repurposing pool noodles for toilet plunger storage to turning old blinds into an accent wall, the possibilities for DIY projects using unusual items are endless. When it comes to jewelry storage, why not continue the trend and add a funky touch? Upcycle a dartboard to create a unique earring holder and display your stylish jewelry in a creative way!
Whether you already have an old dartboard or find one in a thrift store, you have the flexibility to customize this DIY project. Standard dartboards typically come in red, green, black, and white, made from sisal fibers, but you can change the colors to suit your preferences. Hanging the iconic dartboard will add depth to any room and provide a unique storage solution that stands out from traditional plastic or metal options.

Using a dartboard allows you to easily secure your earrings by pushing them into the material. While leaving the corkboard as is an option, why not get a bit more creative? You could cover the board with a thin fabric, ensuring it’s light enough for earrings to be poked through. This way, you can match any room’s aesthetic with a print, pattern, or color of your choice.
Alternatively, you can spray paint the board for a different look. Make sure to use an acrylic-based paint that adheres to both fabric and cork. This DIY project offers a unique way to display and organize your jewelry while adding a touch of creativity to your space.
Get creative with your displays
Leaving the dartboard as is can bring a vintage charm to your wall. Arrange your earrings in a visually appealing way to fill space without cluttering the board. Consider adding push pins to hang necklaces and bracelets, but be mindful of not overdoing it. If some earring pegs are too short, you can add a jewelry storage tray nearby to store earring backs and allow for longer pegs to secure your earrings in place. This creative and kitschy DIY project is worth trying or gifting to a friend who loves jewelry.
