It's my Monday!

Today is my day for a feature on Tessa Ann’s Button Shop Blog and I decided to mix it up a bit and do a Jewelry holder. I’ve had one hanging in my room for months now and the girls have always loved it so I made one for Ashlyn’s birthday tomorrow and thought I’d do a how to while I was at it.

~Strawberry Fields jewelry holder tutorial~

You’ll need an inexpensive frame (mine is 5 x 12”), scrap wood cut to fit the inside of the frame, scrapbook paper or fabric, Mod Podge, a 7/16” dowel, a 5/16” dowel, two 7/8” cup hooks, wooden spools of thread, and Tessa Ann’s Buttons.

First cut your scrapbook paper or fabric the same size as your board and Mod Podge it down. You don’t have to have a fancy ridge cut into your board, my husband is just a rock star and cut it that way for me, a flat board works to.

Cut the 7/16” dowel down to a length that works for you, mine just happens to be 9 1/4” long and paint it. Cut your 5/16” dowel into three 1 1/2” long pieces. These are your pegs to keep your spools on. Drill holes in the bottom section of your board for the pegs. Screw your cup hooks into the top of your board so everything is spaced nice and evenly.

Then put your pegs in the bottom holes and push the thread spools on. Thread your painted dowel into the cup hooks. Now we get to the fun part! Glue those adorable buttons on the ends of the spools and then glue the back on. I used E 6000. You can add a picture hanger to the back if you want or use plate stands to prop it up.

Now stand back and admire your pretty new jewelry holder. The dowel is perfect for rings or earrings and the bottom pegs hold your bracelets and necklaces.

I really think the buttons and the colored spools make the project.

Have a fantastic Memorial Day and I’ll be back later this week with Ashlyn’s dress reveal, if I can get it finished by tomorrow night anyway. It’s still in 8 pieces…
