Ahh a TBT post about one of my first projects with the Silhouette. I was just itching to cut everything I could get my hands on… I was organizing my jewelry, and I wanted to create a pretty display for all of my jewelry. I hate jewelry boxes, because if I don’t see it, I wont wear it. And it creates one jumbled mess of necklaces and who wants to deal with that in the morning? I came up with a design that I’ve been happy with ever since: a 4 sided cork stand on a lazy susan.
The lazy susan allows me to see all the sides, which is super convenient. I also have a couple of trays for rings and perfume bottles, and a bento box style tray for chunky necklaces and bracelets.
The stand itself was super simple to make. I took 2 12×12 cork tiles from the dollar store and cut them in half, then glued them to 6×12 pieces of cardboard. Then I glued them all together in a square. I glued a 6×6 piece of cardboard to the bottom and then put an 8 inch tall riser inside, so the top is a shallow tray as well. If it was cut in half, it would look like this:
And now I’m just showing off my cute earrings :P
And necklaces:
This is my ring tray, which I found at a Value Village:
And my perfume tray:
My bento box tray for bracelets:
And my antique cameos:
So my freebie for today is a scallop border with a fold in the middle. Apparently my scallop obsessions has been over a year in the making….
