Long ago I had an idea for a way to display some my jewelry with a printer's drawer because my jewelry armoire was close to overflowing. Then I got lazy and did nothing about it. Sometimes I would look at the drawers in antique shops, but I didn't want to spend $25 or more.
When I went to the
Elkhorn Flea last month, I found this drawer and made an offer of $5. Sold!
I bought $8 worth of eye hooks at the hardware store. I had a hard time putting the eye hooks in, so I asked Mark for ideas on how make my dream a reality more easily. The next thing I knew he was working on my project for me. He's pretty fantastic.
This entire project cost $13. Because almost all of the jewelry in it is vintage or handmade, it looks like a piece of art.

That is GORGEOUS! So sparkly.
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Love that you made a space for your little beaded flowers vase from the other post. Looks good there!
What a great way to display your items. It looks fantastic.
Always fab to repurpose an item too - which is what I blogged about today.
That Is gorgeous and it looks soooo good........ You are like me, I like to display my jewelry when I'm not wearing it. I have been looking for a tray for ages, they are just a bit too expensive around here, but I know one will come my way. I like your beaded flowers too. I have several that I have found through out the years.
That looks so nice! What a great solution and a great price. Take care, Connie
That's amazing!!! Really a piece of art indeed!
Fantastic!!! You are such a clever shopper : ) So pretty!
Great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome idea! I bought one of the printers trays at a flea market a year or two ago, with the intention of stitching alphabet letters to put in the sections. Needless to say, I haven't done anything with it. I *do* have plenty of jewelry, though, so this is definitely a possibility!
Fantastic!!! I love the look of all that shiny stuff.
I have a small case like that and it holds all my small odds and ends of little critters; cats, dogs, bunnies, etc. It keeps it all contained and prevents the critters from becoming lost.
