Using a cutlery tray, I covered the silverware sections with paper. Sealed the paper with Traci Bautista's Collage Pauge (I have been so happy with this product, I have it in Glossy and Matte!). Then drilled some holes to insert screws. I adhered antique buttons, handmade glass beads (Shelly Heglie and Earthenware Beads) and flea market finds to the heads of the screws. Viola...a place to hang my bracelets and necklaces. I drilled two holes to hold a dowel rod to hang my earrings from. I colored the dowel rod with alcohol inks (love, love, love the purple). I have another tray that I am working on that will also serve as a shelf for my funky rings....which is a new addiction!
I am really pleased with how this project is turning out....and seeing the jewelry as the pieces of art that they are. A bonus...I get to "see" the colors that I am obviously attracted to and inspired by!
