    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

    Hot glue metal into 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

    spray paint picture frame and paint sticks

    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

    pre-drill and screw in hooks onto picture frame

    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.

    attaching d-rings for hanging

    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!

    hanging earrings onto jewelry holder

    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?!)

    pretty jewelry holder

    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. 🙂

    A few years ago she discovered blogs and fell in love with the idea that she could do things she had always dreamed of doing. Like build furniture from pallets, and make cool projects for her home.... Mindi was inspired by other bloggers that empowered her to create.

    Mindi decided to give back and possibly reach someone out there that has a desire to create like herself. She believes we all have that desire in some form or another, and we all DO create in our own way, every day. Whether it be crafty or not, even creating happiness in others is a gift that many share.

    Mindi loves to learn and use that knowledge to make beautiful and useful things for her home.

      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.
