If you have been reading this blog for a bit or just know me in person you know that I have a sister named Jessica (aka Jessy) who lives with us. Jessy is a great blessing to our family, she helps out around the house, is always ready to chat girl stuff with me and watch guy movies with Steve (which for reasons yet to be revealed I just can't stomach). She is also a big help with N (she's single guys!).
Well, ever since she moved in she has been tweeking her bedroom to make it more a reflection of her and less a reflection of her roommates (she moved into our previous office). Yesterday was another tweek.
Jessy has a great collection of quirky jewelery and until yesterday that collection found itself all over her mirror, in jewelery boxes and strewn about the room in various nooks and crannies. Solution: take a box, stapler, old frame, and roll out cork board and make it a jewelery display!
Here are the steps.
 |
| Supplies: old box, upholstery stapler, old frame, and roll-out cork. |
 |
| Step 1: Cut the flaps off the box, flatten, and then cut to the desired length. Step 2: Slowly apply the cork to box making sure to smooth out any bumps or bubbles along the way. |
 |
| Step 3: Cut off any cork that is hanging off the sides of the box. Step 4: Measure the width of your frame and mark it on the box. |
 |
| Step 5: Cut box to width. |
 |
| Step 6: If your frame doesn't have a backing, like ours didn't, staple around the edges securing the box and cork to the frame. Make sure to staple where the box was originally bent. |
 |
| Step 7: mount using two mounts in each of the upper corners to keep frame from swinging when jewelry is added or taken off. |
 |
| Step 8: Hang jewelery with sewing pins and enjoy! |
