The last time my mother-in-law visited I realized my guest room didn't have a good area for her to organize her jewelry.
I decided to make a jewelry holder for that room using things I had in my studio.
I took three large blocks I purchased at the thrift store (they measure 3.5" x 3.5")
and covered them with scrapbook paper that coordinated with the guest room colors. The edges were antiqued to give them a little age.
Next I took a silver plated candlestick and brushed it with a little antiquing medium to tone down the shininess of the metal.

I stacked and glued the three blocks on top of the candlestick and then added some cup hooks to hang the jewelry.


A quick and inexpensive project that will hopefully help my guests keep their jewelry organized when they come visit.
I'm linking today with Cottage Instincts for Make It 4 Monday.
I've already checked out some of the great projects that have been linked to the party. Head on over and check it out!

ReplyDeleteWayne, the kids and I went to a local art festival this afternoon. There was one booth that totally made me think of you! Although I still think you corner the market on creative ideas! I just love this holder!

Another great idea! I saw your block with scrapbooking paper last year (Halloween time frame) and loved them. I remember feeling like I had to make one right away! (and I did!) haha... Your blog is always inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI will never pass up those thrift store blocks again I want to make one of these!
