For my necklaces and longer jewelry I covered a cork board to hang just inside my closet.

For this project, I used these pearl tip pins and clipped them shorter with wire cutters.
Cut the material just larger than the size needed to cover the cork board. Start along one side and tuck the material under the frame of the cork board with a butter knife until the material is completely tucked in around the entire cork board.
Measure along the sides of the board and make a small mark with a pencil where the ribbon should touch the edge of the board. Cut the ribbon to be the right lengths and put them over the board in place so it is crisscrossed like this:
Use the butter knife to tuck the edges of the ribbon under the frame and place a pin through the ribbon where it crosses. Place a bead of glue around the entire frame once finished to hold the material and ribbon in place (Tacky glue or Elmer's glue works fine).
Insert pins along the top of the board and hang your jewelry!
