DIY Jewelry Organizer

I love to make jewelry but I hate when it gets disorganized-

I've found an easy way to keep the jewelry you wear most, at arms reach,

without spending lots of money!

I collect old frames and with a quick coat of spray paint-

you can turn blah into beautiful to match

any decor you want!

I wanted to use chicken wire but had a hard time finding it at first.

  Home Depot had 1/2" hardware wire so I picked up a roll-

A wire cutter and staple gun are the only 2 tools you need-

Make sure you wear gloves because as you cut the wire into the dimension

you want, the ends poke out (or in my case, poke into you).

  I looked like I had wrestled a cat!

After cutting the wire, attach it to the back of the empty frame 

with a staple gun- love that thing!

Now's the fun part-

I stapled fabric across the back of the wire, stapling it to the frame-

Any fabric will do- this is where you can get

 matchy matchy with the decor-

I happened to use different colors of burlap I had in my stash!

You can leave it as is- and start hanging your earrings-

or you can add knobs or hooks to the

 bottom of the frame to hang bracelets and necklaces-
I finally found the chicken wire- you can see it in the photo below-

Most frames have a claw tooth hanger attached to the back-

I chose a more rustic look and stapled a piece of rope to the

top of the frame for hanging- ribbon would look cute too!

I embellished the frames using the same burlap-

I cut strips of the fabric and twisted it in a circle adding drops

of hot glue to secure the rosette!

The skies the limit as far as the look-

Frames can be found almost anywhere-

goodwill, tag sales, even an actual store!

Hope you liked the fast, easy and inexpensive way to keep all

your jewelry neat and organized!

Take care, gotta fly-

DIY Projects/2014

I decided it was time to organize a bit on this little ole' blog-
I'm in the midst of cleaning out the garage (again)
so I can work out there, but I'm a great one for moving from one project
to another without completion-
Adult ADHD big time-

 I've completed many DIY projects so far this year, so I figured I should
put them all together in one post so I can find them easily and convince myself
that I really can complete something!

You can click on the pictures to see the whole thing-

Well, this was going to be a post of my DIY projects

I didn't realize what February was filled with-
obviously, I have no life and must have ignored my family
for most of that month-
So, stay tuned-
March and April are coming soon-
Got to get back to that garage!

Take care, gotta fly-
