A Novel Way to Display Your Jewlery

Posted in Apparel and Fashion, Inspirations, Love What You Use!, Rustic Chic on April 11th, 2012 by A. Dodson's – Comments Off

Here is an inexpensive way to display your favorite jewelry… And it is sooo easy to to do!

Supplies

You will need: a cutting board, hard bound books, an exacto knife, glue, a ruler, some decorative accents, dress maker pins… I found some great hard bound novels at a discount book store for a $1 each!!!

Next you will need to glue the book together. First, glue around the edges of random pages, DON’T OVER THINK IT! Once that is finished, glue the outside of the book together.

You will want to weight down the pages so everything adheres nice and smoothly. Let it dry over night.

Using your ruler lightly trace out the opening. Now you can start cutting, nice and slowly!!! Be sure to hold your exacto knife perpendicular to your book so the edges to the opening are nice and straight!

Now that you have created the opening, the world is your oyster! I used bent pins to hold earrings. You can add a decorative backdrop with paper, glitter or leave it plain! Every book is different so let the beauty of the pages inside you!
