Natural Necklace Display

by Ryann Thompson

My jewelry display is always evolving.

I wanted my stand to compliment the style of my jewelry without spending a ton of money, all while keeping in mind that my display will grow - so I want to easily add matching or complementary pieces later.

I didn't want to purchase something and then come back a few months later searching for matching pieces.

I found an inexpensive and practical solution for the long run.

If I made a few t-bars to hang my necklaces from and decided later that I needed more, I could simply make them and they would match perfectly.

I wanted to go with a material that would match the rustic style of my designs and be something I could find years later if I so desire.

I went digging around my Dad's house and found some firewood, dowels and old deck boards to construct a few t-bars with.

I absolutely adore them.

I then scoured the rest of my belongings to find other unconventional materials for my display.

Everything I used was either something I already owned or picked up at a discount store.

The banner was purchased online at Vistaprint for only the cost of shipping.

Table cloths were less than $10 each, the lace runners are curtain valances I picked up at the Goodwill for a $1 a piece (purchased 6 for future tables).

For my second display I added a round log to display bracelets on, which matched the rest of the branch hangers perfectly.

I receive just as many compliments on my display as I do my jewelry!
