supplies to make a picture frame jewelry holder

Here are the supplies I gathered for making my jewelry holder from a repurposed picture frame.

 

 

fitting paintsticks for backing on jewelry frame

My frame was small enough to fit 8 small paint sticks to cover the back of the frame. If you have a larger frame you can use the 5 gallon paint sticks. Pick what works for your frame. You can purchase packs of paint sticks at the home depot for $1 or sometimes you can get them for free!

Step 1:  Cut decorative sheet metal to fit your picture frame

Marking and cutting metal to fit in picture frame

Set your sheet metal into the inset portion of the frame and mark where it needs to be cut. Use your metal cutting shears cut the metal until it fits inside of your frame, I like to wear protective gloves because the cut edges of the metal can be sharp!

Step 2:  Hot glue your metal into your picture frame

Add hot glue to the inset edges of your picture frame and place the metal inside. I decided to add more hot glue to the edges after the metal was in place to make sure it was nice and secure.

Step 3:  Paint/Stain your frame, paint sticks and hooks

I used spray paint to paint my frame with the metal and also the paint sticks and hooks. I went with white and pink to match my daughters room. This is where you make your jewelry perfect for your style and decor.

Step 4:  Hot glue the paint sticks to cover the back of the frame

I set my paint sticks where I wanted them to be then I removed one at a time to add hot glue, then secured each one back in place holding until the hot glue dried. I repeated this process until they were all added.

Step 5:  Attach your hooks and d-rings

First place your hooks where you want them on the frame, then mark where to pre-drill your holes. Pre-drill then attach the hooks with the screws that came with the hooks.

For the d-rings you will also mark and pre-drill before screwing them into the back, make sure to add two, one for each side of the back of the frame.

Step 6:  Hang your picture frame jewelry holder and enjoy!

Hang your new Jewelry on the wall. *I used a ruler, stud finder, and a hammer and nails to hang it up on the wall. Now time to add the pretty stuff!

We got a good giggle out of this shot. I told my daughter to hang the earrings with her left hand so I could see the earring as she hung it, and she was laughing because it was hard for her to steady it, so it made her laugh even harder! (she is obviously right handed, didn't she do a good job?!)

I love how the pink paint sticks add a pop of color behind the metal.

Originally I wanted to stain the paint sticks...but I decided that if it is for my little girl then I better do her favorite color. 🙂

    How far apart should you put the D rings on the back of the frame?

      I typically put the d-rings on each side of the frame, leaving about 1/4 to 1/2 in from the edge of the frame.

      I hope that helps.

    Mindi,

    It's a PINK project! 🙂 I love your picture frame jewelry holder, and the color is perfect! I recognize that other small project as well. I actually made mine into a chalkboard pet organizer for Lulu Mae!
    Thanks for sharing a great project tutorial.

    That's a great idea. I think I'll do a small one for my brooch and pin collection.
