Piles of jewelry are so last year...

I was given some wonderful necklaces by my mother two Christmases go but I had nowhere to put them. They sort of fell into a pile on my vanity...

But it's amazing what sorts of things you can make using old junk from Goodwill, yes?

I used an old picture frame and repainted it, then I filled it with scrap board from Home Depot.

I covered the board in fabric and glued my spoons on it with E6000 craft glue. I had to go completely Neo Matrix style on these spoons to get them to bend.

I wanted to flatten them, but they were just too thick. And now, I have a wonderful necklace display, not to mention a cool piece of wall art.

I found the idea here and decided to give it a try. Now with my necklaces and my earrings hanging on the wall, I have so much more space on my vanity! Granted, more space equals more places to put junk, right? Oh well, they sure do look pretty on my wall, and they were both really fun to make!
