Hi my little crafty friends. Today we are making some thing very pretty but very practical at the same time. I don’t know about you all, but my necklaces were a hot mess! I had them hanging on this really cute wire holder that sits on top of my dresser. My boys are always messing with it and they are always getting knocked over. LOL. They were just all twisted up and getting broken. So, I went on a google search for Home made Jewelry Holders. There are a lot of options. This little tutorial will show you what I made. There are definitely a lot of different ways to make these Jewelry Holders, but this seemed like the best option for me.
First of all you will need to gather your supplies. You might even have some of this stuff laying around. If not, hit those thrift stores again! Everything I used I either had already or got it at the Thrift Store. You will need thses items.
Gather your supplies. My frame did not have a back so I had to create one out of cardboard. Then I placed the batting (I see that I forgot to put batting on the list, you need batting) on top of my cardboard and cut around it.
Like that. Glue the batting to the cardboard, or frame back if your frame has one. Then take your fabric and place the batting covered cardboard, batting side down on the fabric. Pull it tightly around to the back and glue with your glue gun. Take your trims and do the same this. Pull them around tightly and glue them to the back, Like this. Don’t glue the trin down on the front of the fabric. Only on the back.
Now if your frame had a back you can put it back on now. My frame did not have a back, so i got out the trusty old duck tape and taped on the back. It’s bright green duck tape too…haha, but no one needs to see the back right. I also put 2 cup hooks on the side for even more places to hang necklaces.
Now hang it on your wall and display all your pretties. You can hang the necklaces from the trim, or stick pins into it and hang stuff there too. Hang them on the cup hooks too. The trim works great to clip hair clips onto also. Here is my Jewelry Hanger on my wall. See how the pretties hang right off of the trim. Cute huh.

Hope you are having a great week!
I have a question for you today. (There may or may not be coupons handed out randomly for answers!)
What’s your favorite type of scrapping challenge? Do you like the Cookie Cutter challenges? The Sugar Swap scraplift challenges? Or the ones that push you a little further like the Recipe challenge? I can’t wait to read your answers! 🙂
I’m sorry to interrupt your typical Wednesday but I have some very exciting news. You should really sit down to hear this. Are you sitting down? Ok, I’ll wait. I’ll sing while you find a chair – “It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor. Would you be mine? Could you be mine? Won’t you be my neighbor?” Sorry, I got a little carried away. I take it you are sitting now. Great! Now for my big news.
We have a new designer joining us! Wait until I tell you who it is! I’m still in shock. I’m mean, oh, you want me to just get on with it and tell you who it is? Ok!
It……
is…..
ELLIE LASH!!
Can you believe it? Ellie Lash is joining the Ginger Scraps Family!!
We asked Ellie to tell us a little about herself. This is what she had to say:
Hi, everyone! My name is Ellie Lash. I’m a 36 year old SAHM mom to four-year-old twin boys, Adam and Luke. I’ve been married to my super sweet husband for almost 10 years. We live in sunny, hot Arizona, and while I don’t love the heat I do love almost everything else about living here. I’ve been designing since 2007 and I can’t remember what I ever did before I started! I LOVE scrapping and designing. I’m really excited about joining the wonderful team here at Ginger Scraps and can’t wait to dive in and get involved in the community!
One thing that we like to encourage here at Ginger Scraps is the stalking of our designers. Here are the ways you can stalk Ellie!
