5 minute tutorial: DIY jewelry stand

I have some beautiful brooches that my grandmothers have given me over the years, but sitting in a box of other trinkets, I always forget to wear them.


So here is what I came up with in order to have all my brooches on display.


5 Minute Tututorial: jewelry stand

What you'll need.

A photo frame,


Some fabric of your choice as well as some tulle and double sided tape.


Carefully remove the glass and backboard of the photo frame. You won't need to use the glass so either discard or store carefully for another project.

Using the back board as a template, cut a piece of fabric and a piece of tulle, just bigger than the photo frame.



Apply some double sided tape along each edge of the backboard

Pulling firmly, tape the fabric down around each edge.



Now repeat with the tulle.

But this time, allow the tulle to have a bit of 'give' in it so that you can attach your jewelry easily.




Snip out the corners to allow the fabric to lay better on the corners.

Reassemble your frame and your ready to display your pretty things!




This is also a great way to display your earrings as well.



I love this project. Firstly, it was so quick to assemble- it took less the five minutes to make! On top of that, be a use I used materials already on hand, it was FREE!




Some alternatives:

Instead of tulle and a photo frame, you could use a cork board (just either paint it or cover it in pretty fabric) and use pins to hold up necklaces, earrings and bangles.

Have a lot of jewelry to display? Why not use a large frame and hang it on your bedroom wall as a beautiful and unique decorative feature.



This would be a really sweet gift. Why not try making one today!
