DIY – Jewelry Display or Storage

Heart On Your Wrist recently had the opportunity to sell some of our h and stamped jewelry at the SF Women’s Expo in San Mateo, CA.  We had a great time at the show and even prepping for the show!  I wanted to make some cute and different displays for some of my etched necklaces, so I trekked on over to Michael’s to get some ideas.  What I ended up with worked nicely to display 10 or so necklaces in one spot.  I also plan to create something similar for my daughter’s huge ( and growing) inventory of jewelry so she has an easy place to store them and she can easily see everything and choose what she wants to wear in a snap!  This is how the display turned out:

I started with a wooden shadow box from Micheal’s, some white spray paint and a photo rack (the black iron rack holding it up).

I also chose a 12″x12″ piece of pretty scrapbook paper for the background of the display.

Put down some newspaper to protect the ground you’re spraying on.  Spray away!  Since you will be putting paper in the center, you don’t need to paint that part of the box.  Without any primer, the final look is a little distressed, which I like.  I probably did about 5 coats of spray.  I love spray painting though so that was the fun part for me.

I also purchased some 1/2″ nails with flat heads.  After the paint is dry, you place the craft paper right into the box.  Then nail 10 or so nails across the top of the box.  This keeps the paper in, and provides a hook to hang your necklaces from.

Here is how it looked at the show!
