Do-It Yourself: Framed Jewelry

There's really been a whole lot of DIY action around here lately. Yesterday I hinted at something in the works that involved hot glue and maybe a frame or two. My jewelry box does not hold all of my jewelry, so I wanted some extra storage that doubled as decoration. We have a lot of walls with few things to put on them. Enter my DIY project of the month. (:

* Today, I'd like to actually reveal the fruits of yesterday's DIY labor. *

This was my inspiration to do something

After seeing this image on Lauren Conrad's blog,
I knew exactly what needed to be done.

I found some frames I could use
and bought some jewelry wire...

Not to mention, I am always looking for excuses projects
that require the use of a hot glue gun...


I also busted out my husband's electric drill!


* No need to shy away from a power tool *

I only ran into one minor problem with my construction, but I managed to deal with it fairly easily. There's always at least one issue or setback isn't there? You never get through a DIY project without learning a better way to do something the next time. Trial and error will become your new best friend when doing-it-yourself. Next time I made a jewelry organizer I will make it better than the last one!

Here you have it!

the big reveal:

I might even make a couple more of these
jewelry frames
to hang in our closet...

What do you think?
Would you use this in your house?

We're off to Titusville, FL to hopefully {that's if there are no delays}
watch the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis.
