Tutorial Tuesday - Jewelry Holder Tutorial

Here we are, super behind on posts again.

I am not sure why I get so behind...oh wait, an ever enlarging pregnant body, a 2 year old and a 5 year old, a stay at home job, and all my other Mommy duties...that might be it! ;)
I apologize.

Today I wanted to highlight some awesome Jewelry Holder Tutorials.
I purchased all the neccessary items to make my own, but haven't started and will have to show the final product on Finished! Friday.

Here are some of my favorite tutorials I have found this week:

Picture Frame Jewelry Holder Tutorial
I have been wanting to make a jewelry holder for a long time.
The reason why?
My obnoxious pile of jewelry in my closet...gross huh.
So here is my tutorial for a jewelry holder, using only things I found around my house.
Supplies Needed:
- 1 Old Picture Frame
- Old (or new) Kitchen Drawer Liner
- Staple Gun with staples in it
- Hammer
- Nails
Step 1:
Flip over your frame over and remove the whole entire backing.
You can leave it for hanging purposes if you'd like.Step 2:
Measure out the drawer liner to match the size of your frame.
Step 3:
Staple the liner to the back of your frame.
REMEMBER: Keep the liner as tightly stretched as you can while stapling.
This will help keep the weight of the earrings you will be hanging there more secure.This is what it looks like when you are finished:
Step 4:
Now take your nails and hammer them to the bottom of your frame.
Add as many as you would like.
Step 5:
Hang your frame where you like and embellish it with your jewelry!

Can't wait to see what you make!

I have been so inspired by other craft blogs lately.
These ladies are always creating something unique, beautiful, and new!
I wanted to create something as well.
Here is my latest creation:

Mod Podge Flower
Supply List:
Mod Podge
Foam Sponge Brush
12" strips of scrapbook paper
Hot Glue Gun

Step 1)- Grab your Mod Podge, a sponge brush,
and cut your favorite color scrapbook paper into 12 inch strips.

Step 2) Begin creating your center circle.
Place a smudge of glue a little bit away from the edge of your center strip.

Step 3) Start rolling into a circle.
While you are rolling continue adding a little glue to the strip,
this will help hold it in the circle shape.

I stop when it is about a centimeter wide.
Cover the entire circle with a good coat of Mod Podge.
Give it about 20 minutes to harden.

Step 5) Repeat steps 2 &3 with the other color of strips.
These will make your outside petals.

Step 6) Start hot gluing the outer petals to the center circle,
in the shape of a flower.

Once you have all five on you are finished!

I added an elastic to the back and turned it into a cute ring!
You could also make it a charm on a necklace,
or even add it to a card or scrapbook page!
The possibilities are endless!

Here are a couple more rings I made using the same technique!

I have been really into making my own jewelry lately.
