Necklace Stand or Scrappy Project?
May 16th, 2008 by Jen
When I first got the blank necklace stand from GLUE, I knew that it wasn’t going to be a necklace stand when I got done with it. First, I am not a jewelery person. Never have been, and most likely never will be, so I don’t have a lot of necklaces to display on this. However, I do have about 5,000 {give or take a few} pictures of Ellie that I could put on here. So, there was my inspiration…pics of Ellie. Last November we went to Arizona to visit my parents and I go several pics of Ellie watering the flowers {something that she became quickly obsessed with}. I took out my Basic Gray chipboard letters and fiddled until I came up with something that both fit the picture and fit inside my work space. Viola, this is what I came up with…
The flowers were created with coaster cut with a Cuttlebug die and covered in DP. The chipboard at the top is not from Basic Gray, but rather something that I picked up at JoAnn’s on sale and I can’t remember the brand {sorry!}.
I must admit that this actually wasn’t the first {or only} idea that I had for this stand. Here are a few more things that you could do with it that I came up with…
1. Decorate and use as a necklace stand {who woulda thunk?}
2. Use it as a recipe holder. The phrase “Kiss The Cook” comes to mind.
3. Cover it with chalkboard paint and use it as a message board.
4. Mod Podge some pretty paper on it and criss-cross some ribbons to make it place to put notes and pictures.
5. Make it a clock.
6. Decorate with a mirror for a make-up table.
…get my point? You could do just about anything!
Some of the Glue DT members got this stand to work with this month, and others got a cute 3×3 stand. Be sure to check out the eye candy that they have for you on their blogs.
See ya’ll tomorrow with another Sketch For You To Try! You’ll have to be sure to check up on Shannan to make sure that she does this one right.
