From a Whatchamacallit to a Jewelry Holder

I really don’t know what this was in its former life…maybe it held teacups or something…not sure! But when I saw it at a thrift store, I knew it would make a great holder for necklaces and stud earrings! Both of our girls love jewelry, and both of them need something for their long necklaces…but this one is going to FYD simply because she was with me when I transformed it and her sister was not! How’s that for parental fairness?!

Anyway…I forgot to take a before photo, but it was the basic brown wood
that so many thrift store items seem to be. I think it would have looked
great if painted black or bronze, but FYD wanted it to be cream
(which will fit into the future color scheme that she wants in her room…
if we ever sell our house and get to move…oh, sorry, I’m whining).

So, a quick spray with cream paint…

…a handful of embossed brown felt circles (found the pretty felt at Hobby Lobby)…

…and we have a handy jewelry holder!

The jewelry holder on the wall was purchased at a great arts and crafts festival, Homestead Hollow, that is held in Springville, AL a few times each year.
We loved the colored papers that were used on it!

Now, I just need to find something else to transform into one for FOD!!
Hmmm…an excuse to go thrift store shopping!! Where’s my purse?
