Cute Jewelry Display Ideas

I sell jewelry on Etsy.  I figured, why not display my jewelry at home while I wait for it to sell?  So I came up with some cute jewelry display ideas:

Yes, this is a cheese shredder! 

  

When the handle broke off of an old garden rake, I knew just what to do with it!   I hang  bracelets, necklaces, scarves, and belts from the tines.  

I took a 2x4 scrap of wood and covered it with pretty paper. Then I pet some little nails in it to hang things on.

Some screen or netting nailed, stapled, or glued onto the back of a picture frame is great for holding earrings or pins. 

DUCK Tape Ballet Flats

The inspiration for making these ballet flats out of DUCK tape came from an eight year old. My little friend, Willow, came up with the idea herself, and has been doing it since she was three years old. She is a very creative little girl! I would have rather used light pink tape, but they didn't have that color at my local department store. I just wrapped the tape around a sock, then cut the opening into the right shape. I then stapled the ribbons to the tape. They aren't the most practical shoes, but they were a very fun project.

Starting an Etsy Shop

I'm setting up an Etsy shop, which will open soon!  Here are a few things that I have made and will be selling.

I'll post again as soon as I open the shop!

Clay Creations

Some of these pictures are already on the side of the blog. Anyway, here are some things I've made out of baking clay.

I made most of these jewelry pieces because I saw something like it in a store or catalog and just copied it using clay.

I made these into a bracelet. It's just about the sweetest darn thing I've ever made!

I wear this when I feel like being an elf! The only bad thing about this clay is that when it's thin like this, it breaks pretty easily, so I need to be careful not to stretch it too far..

When it's cooked it feels pretty much like plastic. After awhile it stretches and becomes more flexible, so I make it a little smaller than it should be before I cook it.

I amazed myself.

CELTIC!!!

My little mushrooms! I want to make a tiny fairy garden with tiny rows and pots of tiny flowers and a tiny tool shed with tiny tools. Anyway, I would decorate it with my tiny mushrooms!

This is my unique hippie mushroom.

My Ladder-Shelf

An old wooden ladder...

It only had wrungs on one side, so I added them to the other side to support the boards.

Tissue paper roses.
