DIY Jewelry Holder Displays

Hey hey Hey!

Man...sorry I've been MIA...

it just gets crazy around here this time of year!

And I'm armpit deep in the secret project...

but it's coming along nicely.

In the meantime...here's an awesome way to

not only store all your fabulous adornments...

but also to showcase some of your favorites!

Some DIY Jewelry Holders or Displays!

I started with a fancy 8 X 10 frame from HobLob for 1/2 off...

a piece of decorative tin sheet metal from Home Depot...

some scrap wood {as yet undecided at picture time}...

and some knobs, also from HobLob, on clearance!!!

I measured my sheet of tin to fit the back of the frame

and just marked it off with a Sharpie.

Yes, my Sharpie is pink.

What of it?

This sheet is 12" by 24" so I measured in such a way that I

could actually get 3 this size out of this sheet if I decided to make more.

That actually cuts the cost if you consider you can make 3 gifts with one sheet.

Tin snips are a must for this job.

Makes it so easy.

Just snip, snip, snip...and you're done!

Next it was time for paint.

Once again...spray paint is your friend!

Never forget it!

We had some gold spray paint...and it was rather SHINY...

to detract from that a bit, I held a can of Oil Rubbed Bronze over

the frame and lightly sprayed so it speckled the gold.

Poifect.

Well, almost.

I decided a little more depth was in order.

I lightly wiped on some chalk paint...{the pic below}

distressed a little...speckled some more with gold, then ORB...

then I finally put a top coat on.

Layers, layers, layers.

Once it was all dry, I glued the tin sheet into the

back of the frame with some E6000 glue

You want it to sit down in the recess of the frame

so there's a space for your hooks to hang.

What hooks, you say?

These hooks, of course.

Well, and all those long, dangly French hook

earrings you've been known to wear.

These are pretty small...about 3/4" to an inch long.

They came 6 to a pack.

I opened them up just a tad so they could easily hang on the

tin sheet and hold rings or big earrings or thin bangles.

Then they got a healthy dose of gold spray paint.

Next is the knobby necklace holder.

Here's my piece of scrap wood.

This piece is a 1 X 3 cut to about the same width as the frame.

I wanted 3 knobs on here,

so I measured them out so they'd be even.

Then drill a hole all the way through big enough

to fit the screw of your knob.

Next, use a forstner bit to make a shallow

hole on the back side of your board.

Be careful that you only go about half way through!

Like this, see?

The reason is, since we're using knobs,

they have a nut on the back to hold it on.

You don't want that nut sticking out the back

once you've put the knob on, right?

Of course not!

All that's left is to paint it your heart's desire...add your knobs...

and VOILA!

I spray painted the wood first with the same color as the tin sheet.

Then I used chalk paint so I could distress it

and have a little of the plum show through.

I don't know about you, but I just love how they turned out!

Because of the holes I drilled in the back of the board,

I was able to just hang it on some small nails.

You could attach hangers, or even use Command Strips I suppose.

Here's a closer look at the final finish on the paint.

Kind of antique-y, don't ya think?

And here's a better look at those nice little hooks...

they're great for hoops, bracelets, and even rings.

Whaddya think?
Did you just add one to your Christmas list?
For you or someone else?
I certainly hope the person I made
these for likes them as much as I do!
{see them in their final home here}

It was a pretty quick project.
The longest part is waiting for the paint to dry.

Well, off I go, back to work on my to do list

Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!
