I recently have started making jewelry, and wanted a nice way to display each piece on my Etsy shop once completed. There are so many ideas for cute displays online using re-purposed materials. However, I don't have the right tools, furniture pieces, or room re-create some of the spectacular DIY ideas. So, here is a super simple, quick, and cheap way to make your own faux jewelry display prop out of simple things you have around the house.

I recently have started making jewelry, and wanted a nice way to display each piece on my Etsy shop once completed. There are so many ideas for cute displays online using re-purposed materials. However, I don't have the right tools, furniture pieces, or room re-create some of the spectacular DIY ideas. So, here is a super simple, quick, and cheap way to make your own faux jewelry display prop out of simple things you have around the house.

Instructions

  1. Small 107288 2f2015 02 05 224142 img 0213

    Gather Your Supplies! All you will need is: - Some sturdy cardboard (I used the top of a pizza box). - Something to draw your template with. - Sharp scissors or a crafting blade. - Duct-tape (You could probably use any kind of tape if you use enough). - Scrap fabric.

  2. Small 107288 2f2015 02 05 224204 img 0214

    Start out by drawing a silhouette of a jewelry stand (neck, shoulders and chest) with your pen, onto the cardboard.

    Using your cutting tool of choice, carefully cut out your stand. Using a piece of scrap cardboard, duct tape it to the back to make a stand *** Optional: If your jewelry is particularly heavy, I've found that using a picture/book stand helps the display stand up to the weight without falling over.

    Trim off excess fabric, leaving about an inch or so around, and carefully fold & tuck, then tape around your silhouette to secure the fabric in place. Don't worry about the back being pretty! *** Optional: If you don't have fabric, you could always use your favorite scrapbook paper, and fold it around. If you use glue instead of tape with paper, use a glue stick. Paste glue might soak through and be visible in macro pictures.
