Project #2

I've been wanting to make one of those jewelry hanger-frame things, and for a few weeks have been stopping at every Goodwill I see (which there are A LOT here) in order to find the perfect frame. Last week, I found one, and so today I set out to finally put it together!

My ingredients: frame, fabric, wire mesh, and foam board (so I could push my studs into it).

I cut the foam board to fit in the frame using a dull steak knife and cutting board- it did the trick!

I first tried to cut the mesh wire with pliers- a no go. My scissors actually worked much better! That may however be the last thing they ever cut...

Next I stapled the fabric around my foam board and then just bent the mesh wire around that. I'm not sure how you're actually supposed to make one of these cause I just went for it, but it is seeming to work out

Finally, I fitted my board into the frame- and here it is!

I put nails on the bottom row to hang necklaces from and then just hooked or pushed in all the earrings- here is the finished product!
