[QUOTE="Shari, post: 279379, member: 1848"] Abbey...don't feel bad about your inability to drive nails thru a dowel. Generaly, dowels are cut from harder woods like oak, and its really hard to put a big, sturdy nail into oak without pre-drilling a hole. Throw in there that you are driving a small nail into a rounded surface, and...well...don't feel bad. Can you go back to the hardware store and buy a couple of eye screws, with eyes big enough the dowel will fit thru them? Or large hooks? Then you can screw those into the wall and slide the dowel in and out as needed to put your necklaces on it or remove them. [/QUOTE]
