How to Make a Jeweled Photo Frame

This is a fun and simple project!  If you have a bunch of old vintage jewelry, beads and buttons just arrange them how you want,  then use your hot glue gun  and glue everything in place. (I put a thick piece of paper over the glass inside the frame so I wouldn't get glue on it.) Try this with found objects or seashells! You can also find "lots" of vintage jewelry on ebay and I have seen bags of vintage like ornaments at craft stores.

Simple DIY Jewelry Organizer; Get Your Jewelry Organized This Year!



I kept putting off making a jewelry organizer  because I didn't want to buy a bunch of screen or chicken wire which is used in a lot of the organizers I have seen.    I found some cheap utility mesh at a fabric store and just used my staple gun to attach the mesh to the back my old wood frame.  Then I just screwed in a few brass hooks and a picture hanger and 10 minutes later I was organized!
