I'm back!
I always tell myself that I'm going to blog more then life comes knocking on my door. I've been so busy with finals and housework that I haven't had time to do much else. In the past few days I've freed up some time so I was finally able to do a DIY and make a fun recipe. Be on the lookout for the recipe a little later this week! Yes, two posts in one week!
As you may know, I have a slight addiction to shopping at Dollar Tree. I have been there 3 times this week and spent between $8 and $15 each time I went. I told Tommy that I am banning myself from Dollar Tree for the rest of the month. I am happy to share that I FINALLY found the candle stick holders so that I can share with you this awesome DIY Jewelry stand!
I was using my DIY Watch and Bracelet Holder but it was getting a bit too full and I had to pull everything off to get one thing off. It was super cute, just not practical!
This Jewelry Stand is elegant, convenient, and cheap! The entire thing cost me about $5 and should only take about 10 or 15 minutes to complete! Keep reading to see how I completed this project!
What you need:
- 3 Bowls/Plates
- 2 Candlesticks
- Hot Glue Gun
**Notice the roll of contact paper? I got through cutting it out and attaching it only to realize it DOES NOT work for this project! Read on for further details!**
You will first want to remove any labels from the items and wipe them down with some alcohol to clean the surface.
Once you have wiped everything down, glue the small end of the candlestick to the bottom of your first dish.
I originally wanted to add contact paper to the bottom of my dishes to make it a little more interesting and personalized. After spending 20 minutes cutting out the heart shapes and attaching the paper I found out that hot glue apparently doesn't stick too well to contact paper. So I scratched that idea.
Let your glue dry then glue around the other part of the candlestick and carefully center your second bowl on top.
Once the glue dries, repeat the previous two steps for your third bowl.
You could choose to spray paint this if you so wish, but I think it looks quite elegant as it is.
Fill it up with your bracelets and necklaces and you're done!
An elegant jewelry stand for only $5? It doesn't get much better than that! I put mine on the top shelf of my bookshelf (we don't have much counter space) next to my favorite picture of Bo and me (Rest in Peace buddy) and my perfumes. That way I can grab a piece of jewelry on my way out the door every morning because we all know that I'm always running late!
Let me know what you think!
Recreations? #countryclassdiy
This is very cute! I'm always looking for new ways to display jewelry instead of shoving it to the back of my closet :)
