Yippee yay, it's Friday!
Today's jewelry rack idea is made of these blah materials: cardboard and paint stirrers {free from the hardware store}.
Cut the cardboard into thin strips {about 1 inch for the width and 10 inches for the length}. We'll need three to five pieces of these.
Glue at least two paint stirrers together to
form a sturdy foundation.
Here's what the jewelry rack looks like after painting the pieces individually and gluing them together on a wooden base. The paint stirrer is at the center and the cardboard strips intersect it.
Make pairs of holes across the cardboard strip with a hole punch {do this after painting the strip}. Avoid making holes at the mid-point of the cardboard strip because this area will be glued to the base.
Use the holes to attach stud earrings or
hang ones that dangle.
TADA! A display rack for earrings for your dressing table at home, or for your booth at the craft fair or tag sale. Have a sparkly weekend my lovelies!
Oh Claire, you are the gal with all the ideas..wish you lived closer so I could 'lean on your help' for my garage sale:)

ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
That's what you call recycling:)
DeleteHooray for recycling! Heehee :)
DeleteBut how do you put the stirrers to the foundation...?
ReplyDeleteI really like this idea!
Thanks for the comment Anonymous! I used hot glue (super glue is another alternative) to attach the stirrers to the base. If your earrings aren't heavy, this should hold up well. :)
