Handmade Rings Tutorial

Both creators and lovers of jewelry yearn for a way to lovingly display their collection of store-bought and unique handmade jewelry alike. The question is how? How do you prevent tangled chains? How do you see everything you own at a glance? How do can you showcase it rather than hide it away?

Well, here are some fabulous ideas that are not only fun and easy to do, but can even double as art too! Gone are the days of the jewelry box. Say hello to hanging your jewelry out in the open with flair. Take a shadow box and paint a neutral color. Add wallpaper in the back and outfit it with various knobs and hooks that suit your taste to hang necklaces and bracelets and finish with a decorative dish resting on the shelf to corral earrings and more. You just transformed your jewelry into a decoration for your wall as well as you.

Another option is to paint a decorative board and attach various knobs in your favorite colors and styles. Simply hang your unique handmade jewelry on the knobs and it's easy to find the perfect match for your outfit. If knobs aren't your thing try drawer pulls. Cover a large rectangular board with burlap or other material and attach various drawer pulls. Cup pulls mounted upside down can hold earrings while necklaces and bracelets can be hung from other ones. Add a decorative ribbon for some flair to the board and it will also make a great display for selling your wares.

Getting rid of an old dresser? Before you leave it at the curb give it a second look. A drawer or two that are still in good shape could be repainted and transformed into a shelf. Rest some colorful tea cups and saucers from the thrift store on it to hold bracelets and earrings and hang your unique handmade jewelry from the pulls below. Viola! You now have jewelry storage as unique as your jewelry.

Frames are also full of jewelry storage possibilities. Simply find a great vintage frame and paint it if you need to. Then place peg board, cork board or even metal fence inside. Then fill it with your favorite jewelry and you have storage and wall art in one.

Love the vintage look? An old soda crate will make the ideal place to store your jewelry. If you have one with 12 or 24 compartments you fill each space with jewelry or take some out and add wood dowels to hold necklaces and more. Mounted horizontally or vertically it's bubbling with refreshing retro style. And if you make bottle cap jewelry this option couldn't be sweeter!

As you can see it is easier than ever to have fun storing and displaying your jewelry. With so many options one could even make and sell these ideas along with their unique handmade jewelry and accessories. All you need is a little imagination and you can transform your favorite accessories from wearable art to wall art.
