Jewelry Organization!

First, I must say I LURVE the bracelet/ necklace holders... to me, they serve as organizational pieces and artwork for my VERY BARE walls. The earring holder I LOVE (and yes there is a huge difference between LOVE and LURVE) and I will go back and tweak it to my liking later, but I really wanted to be "completed" with this project, even if it was just for now! AND, I must say that the necklace/ bracelet projects were COMPLETELY FREE! AND, POST SPENDING FREEZE! The earring project was PRE-spending freeze so I think I spend around $6 for the frame at Hobby Lobby and $2 for the wire, plus your 40% coupon coming to a total of $5.60 total for the earring holder project (I had all the paint, hot glue, sand paper, etc.)

Oh look at my model... SO handsome! This is the first frame... procured from my mom's house. In a pile, just waiting for me! See the FUH-GALY Gold trim... Yeah that took 5 billion coats!

This is the second frame I stole, I mean vacationed at my house. What a wonderful picture inside that my dear mother at one point must have liked!

                                                            LOTS of brown paint!

Then, I had some cork squares from my loverly college days, so I cut them to fit the frames. Then taped them with what I had... which was painter's tape...

Then, found these old valences that we will never use again.. cut them with the scalpel/ exacto knife thing (that crazy thing is sharp)...

And, poped it in the frame! VIOLA!

Hung it on the wall where I wanted it... and pushed in clear thumb tacks. Some really cool hooks would look better, but the jewelry pretty much covers it up and they were FREE!

You may remember this piece from this post... well, I finished it, for now... I love the hanger, the idea, but don't love the paint.. so whenever I get around to it (I know you can stop laughing now!), I will tweak it to my liking!

And, here is my side of the bed, the bracelent, necklace hangers on the left and the earring hanger on the bedside table! Again, the pictures were taken at night, so they are not the best... but you get the idea... they look better in person!
