How To Make Your Own Vintage-Inspired Jewelry Holder
Here is a simple and creative way to display your jewelry as well as add a decorative vintage-inspired element to your bedroom.
What You Will Need:
- Basic white frame from a craft store
- 3 or more strips of lace fabric, each 1 yard in length
- 1 can of spray paint, any color of your choice
- sewing or fabric scissors
- hot glue gun
Step One:
First, you are going to spray paint your frame. Make sure you have a solid and level area away from your house and vehicles that you can paint on. I used an old sheet and a piece of cardboard so I wouldn't get any paint on the driveway. Be aware of any tree branches above you, because debris could fall from them and stick to the wet paint!
Step Two:
Once you have sprayed your first coat on your frame, let it dry for about 10-15 minutes. This will allow the paint to set and you will be able to spot areas that you might have missed. If you are working with an intricate frame like mine, be sure to get into all of those nooks and crannies! You don't want any white space. Give your frame about 3 coats and let dry for a 2-3 hours.
Step Three:
After your frame has dried, it's time to add the lace. Before you do any gluing, take a ruler and mark out where you are going to stretch your strips of fabric. This will help you get straight consistent lines every time.
Step Four:
Dab a small dot of hot glue on one of the marks. Carefully place one end of your fabric strip on the glue and press it into the glue. Then take the other end of the fabric and do the same on the other side. Make sure you are keeping the strip of fabric tight, you don't want a droopy line of lace. Once the fabric seems to be set in place, dab a little bit of extra glue on each end to make sure it's secure.
After letting the glue cool, the project is complete!
Cut off any extra fabric that sticks out from the frame and you are done! Hang it on a wall with either a nail or Command Strips. The total cost of lace, frame, & spray paint: $23.44
