How to Make This
Easy Necklace Holder / Hanger:

You take cardstock in pretty colors or designs (whatever suits your design or display) and cut it in 4"x2" strips.

You can take your cardstock to Office Depot or Office Max or any store like that, and they will cut it in strips for you at very little cost - and they are even. :-)

Fold one of these strips in half.

Now it open up again.

On each edge of the crease, punch out a hole so it goes off the paper (as shown in the middle photo above).

Now thread the necklace through these holes.

Fold the strip again on the fold line with the necklace inside, and staple at the top (as shown in the last photo above).

Just below the staple, punch a hole in the middle for hanging.

(Optional: punch two extra holes to hold matching earrings, as shown in photo.)

Put a small label with your name on it, and there ya have it - ready to hang on any hook.

Nifty necklace holder / tag
by: Rena

This is really a clever idea, Linda! A great way to tag necklaces and make them hangable at the same time!

I especially like the versatility of being able to package and display the matching earrings along with the necklace.

Necklace Holder

That's a pretty nifty idea!! I have a custom rubber stamp of my logo that I use on my jewelry tags. I was trying to figure out how to put earring/necklace sets on tags. Thanks for doin' the figuring!

HEY!
by: Angie S

What a fantastic idea!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you.
by: HippieChick

God bless you and thank you. I have recently begun building my jewelry business. Talk about operating on a shoestring budget! Your idea is simple, creative, effective and for me it costs nothing because I already have those materials on hand. The first one was just for practice. Now that I have the hang of it, I will put my own personalized touch on the cards to help advertise my business. Again thank you!

How do you hang your cards?
by: Elsie

This is a great idea - I have a small suggestion re: the extra holes for earrings - you may want to use a head pin instead of a hole punch to make the holes as the earrings will "stay put" easier.

I would love to use this idea but was unsure how to hang your card. Do you have a board already made with hooks? or perhaps a wire display unit?

Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

Regards,
Elsie

Answer on how to hang
by: Linders beaded creations

I hang these on a rack i recently threaded pretty colored ribbon through the card for display for a venue i was a. The earrings dont go allthe way through they slip inside the card if they are fish hook earrings.
Glad you all like my idea i am getting ready to post another my husband is making for transporting your necklaces.
Have a great day all happy beading

Personalization and Transporting Suggestion
by: Sue Trainor

I think this is a WONDERFUL idea! Thank you so much! I have been going crazy trying to find some good ideas. I have two suggestions to add.

1.On the back of mine I used address labels that I have designed myself on Vistaprint to put my information on.

2.When transporting, you can place the necklaces in a tiny ziplock bag so that only the cardboard holder is hanging out. You can still transport them however you were planning, but with the necklace itself in the plastic bag, they won't get tangled up with others.

IF CUSTOMER WANTS TO BREAK SET
by: Linda

Helen,
I sell necklaces and earring separate but to be honest i have never known a woman thatdiesnt want a matching set ha ha but if she does then its what the customer wants :-)

One more suggestion
by: Sue Trainor

I used your idea, but started using my business cards folded in half. That way the cards were all uniform in size. Then another brainstorm...I changed my business card design on Vistaprint (http://www.vistaprint.com) so that when I fold it in half, my logo and informaion is on one side and the other side is blank. You can then use whichever side you choose to face the customer. I then covered a framed corkboard with black foam (you can use anything) and use clear push pins to hold them in place. I purchased an inexpensive easel to hold the board, but if you have someplace in your display that you can lean it against, that works just as well...or let the board lay flat.
You can also use long piece of elastic stretched across the board to hold them in place.
Thank you again for sharing your idea.

Watercolor heavy paper for Holders
by: MarKateLiz Designs

Your idea is great. I purchased a Strathmore Watercolor cold press heavy paper. One can use it as is or you can watercolor it the color you want and proceed to the cutting, etc. For a more professional look, I thought glueing the folded strips is better than stapling it.

Thank you for your inexpensive and creative idea.

Hanging Racks Idea
by: Jenna

This year the Christmas ornaments that they sold at a small retail store near me came in boxes with small metal standing racks inside. The management allowed me to have these small standing displays when the Christmas sale was over. They were going to throw them away. They will be perfect for hanging these cards on. Thank you!

As soon as I seen the picture of your necklace holder I said "duh" that is what I have been trying to come up with to hold the necklace/earring sets I make. Thank you for the idea, it is a simply GREAT idea. :)
