Summer Project: Jewelry Holder

So this is a project I've wanted to do for awhile now, I just hadn't had time or been able to find the right supplies.  I finally did when I was browsing at Michael's with Austin over the weekend.



It was really easy.  I just sanded and painted the frame until I got the look I wanted, then took out the plastic that would go over the picture and stretched fabric and netting across the frame backing.  The background fabric is just a fat quarter that's sand colored, and the main fabric is this netting kind of stuff that was with the nautical fabrics at JoAnns.  I initially wanted to do lace, but I thought the netting worked a little better with the nautical/seaside kinda theme I was going for.  For the posts at the bottom, I cut up a dowel and drilled holes to slide them into.

Like I said,really easy.



And here it is in action.  I haven't put many of my earrings on it yet but still.  Also the posts don't give quite enough space for my rings/bracelets so I'm thinking of either adding more posts or maybe making a smaller, matching piece to hang beside this one for additional storage.  We'll see.

At any rate, I'm really, really happy with how it turned out!
