It's cold and rainy today in my part of the world,
a perfect day to play in my studio.
I purchased this mini papier mache dress form at Michael's on Friday night.
It was definitely an impulse buy (I went in for acrylic paint) but it was only $1.50 so it came home with me.
Since this little form was still sitting on my kitchen island this morning, I decided to add some odds and ends to it and make a jewelry holder.
After spraying the form with a clear matte finish spray, I created a base out of a piece of an old spindle, some "arms" for bracelets out of screws, and a place to hold my rings at the top using a sewing machine bobbin and a nut picker.
A simple little jewelry holder that should fit nicely in my new bedroom.
Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday!
Jane




I bought two of them too and have no idea what I am going to create with them.
