How To: Make a Frame Jewelry Holder


I've been seeing cool DIY jewleryholders on the internet and there are tons of things at Scrap to make one with! 

So here's a way to do it-

Supplies:
-scissors
-holey fabric (burlap) or wire mesh
-frames
-hot glue


1: Pick out an awesome frame. (I like the idea of having separate ones for earrings and necklaces but you can have them all on one big frame if you want.)



2: Cut the burlap to the edge of the frame.


3: If your frame is the wirehanger kind, just glue the burlap to the edge of the very back (leave the hanger wire exposed). But you'll need a main part to hang necklaces if this isn't just for earrings. I've seen all different solutions to this, such as lace ribbon, wire, or hooks. I'm gonna some wrap wire with yarn. Make a bend in the wire and hot glue it underneath the front edge of the frame like in the pics above.


4. If your frame doesn't have a wire just glue the burlap to the inside edge. That way you can hang it on a nail.


5. I found this (candle holder?) thingy that I'm gonna glue to the bottom and use as a tray. You never know what you'll find at Scrap so just get inspired by specific things you find!


And done! I use the jars for stud earrings because removing them would probably be a pain. Also clips make the necklaces easier to deal with. And you can put some cards and stuff on top if you have a thick frame!
