Spoolery Hanger

My sis had a fun idea for a Christmas present for some friends. A bracelet/necklace hanger! Look how cute these bad boys or I guess since they are girly items, gorgeous gals turned out...

So much fun! She went to Wally World and found some frames for $5. First, she spray painted them. Then she used some cute scrapbook paper and hot glued it to the cardboard back that came with the frame. *Note to self: Make sure the paper is glued down really well or the knobs will pull it off.

Now for the knobs. This was one of those creative process moments. She wanted to put hooks on, but since it was just cardboard, we couldn't really drill hooks in, and we didn't want to deal with screws. So I suggested using wooden spools. We bought a pack in the wood aisle at the Hob Lob.  Of course we had to make them extra cute... enter clear stones! This is out that process turned out.

She glued scrapbook paper to the stone then hot glued the stone to the spool. Very cute if I do say so myself.

They weren't very sturdy, but a few bracelets or necklaces would work great for this little treasure!

Jewelry Hanger

 I bought this magnet board at Roberts with the idea to turn it into a picture board and it ended up sitting in my room for over a year. It just never seemed right to use it for pictures. I have a bazillion frames around and I already have one magnet board filled with pictures. Then one day...lightbulb! It hit me. I could use it for all my necklaces and bracelets. I feel bad that I buy all this fun jewelry and it sits untouched because I forget that its there. It took me awhile to track everything down and get it to turn into the picture in my mind. I really love it!

I painted it black and went to the Hob Lob to find some paper. I wanted something classy. I found this black velvet glittery paper and fell in love. I measured and cut it to go on the end. I found the 2 hooks that the bracelets are on at the Hob Lob as well. They have a lacey design and look like this....

So cute! I then made each of the "hooks" for the necklaces. I had some clear and black stones left over from other projects. I found some treasures lying around the house to decorate them up. I made sure to get a stronger magnet to go on the back or else it wouldn't hold as many necklaces and just slowly slid off the board. Here's what each of them look like...

I played off the other hooks and put real lace under the left one.

I went through some old magazines and cut out pictures of jewelry. These were the winners!

I feel like I have my own jewelry store and can go shopping each day for what to wear!
