DIY Earring Stand!

I've never been a huge jewelry person, but recently after deciding to dress myself up a little more at home (instead of being in PJ's all day), I decided to also start wearing some of the jewelry I have. I really don't have much, but they needed some re-organization. Since all of my jewelry were scattered in different boxes and hidden, I was always too lazy to dig through them.

So finally yesterday I decided to do some organizing. My hanging earrings were first on my list. I don't have much space on my dresser so I wanted a narrow stand. All the ones I saw at the stores were either expensive or bigger than what I needed. I went to a local thrift shop and found this kitchen tool (not sure what it's exactly used for), that was the perfect size with holes perfect for hanging. It only cost me 5 bucks!

All I needed to do was to decorate it so it wouldn't look so metal on my dresser.
Here is the finished result!


























Supplies used:
-Ribbon
-Fake Pearls (used for beading)
-Super Glue
-Scissors
-Needle and Thread

1. From the top of the square I inserted the ribbon, weaving on either side up to the handle. I knotted the ribbon around the back of the handle as tight as possible.



























2. I made a separate bow and sewed it on to the handle and knot at the back.

3. I took a separate ribbon and wrapped it around the handle and then sewed it down on the backside.



























4. Lastly, I super glued the pearls around the square on top of the ribbon.


Here is another item I picked up from the thrift store! it worked perfectly for my stud earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets! This glass tray was only $6.00! It's in great condition too.





















Most of my jewelry used to be stuffed in to the two drawer box on the left.
