Craft: Recycled Jewelry Organizer

Recycled Jewelry Organizer
Recycled Jewelry Organizer
Use a hunk of Styrofoam packing from one of your technology purchases and a fabric scrap to make this organizer to hang all your baubles. I hung one in the bathroom for my 16-year-old to get some of the mess off the sinktop. I also made a small one for my other daughter's dorm room. You could also use it for photos, mementos, notes, or seasonal items just for decoration.

Approximate Time 1 hour or less

Supplies:

  • Piece of Sytrofoam the size of your choice, but at least two inches thick
  • Fabric scrap to cover
  • Ribbon to hang it
  • Hot glue or tacky glue
  • Assorted trims if desired
  • Package heavy duty, long quilters' pins with pearlized beads on top (They cost about $2 for 40).

Instructions

  1. Cut fabric to fit foam, leaving about one-inch excess all around.

  2. Wrap foam just like a gift and glue in place. (If using hot glue, be sure to glue fabric to fabric, so you don't melt your project!)

  3. Add lace or rickrack, etc. to edge of foam, if desired.

  4. Attach length of ribbon to hang, using pins.

  5. Attach jewlery with pins.
