How to make a jewelry display

As I promised in a former post about how to make creative jewelry displays, here is mine:


Μy sister had given my a perfume with matching shower gel and body lotion as birthday present, in this beautiful heart shaped box, dressed in blue satin fabric.




Of course this is not a box to throw away and since it was not very deep I thought it could make a beautiful jewelry display.




I had my husband open little holes on the sides with a drill.




I passed a pink satin cord from one hole to the other.



I had this flower decorative ball which I didn't use anymore and so I took some flowers off.




When I teared them apart I noticed that they had holes in the center.



I passed the satin cord through the flowers' hole in the external side of the box.




I made a knot to hold the flower in place and continued with the rest of the holes.



So now I have two small jewelry displays that look like this.







The only thing I have to decide is whether I will hang them on the wall or put them on some kind of stand.


Of course this can be done with any kind of box as long as it isn't very deep. If you make your own I would like to see what comes out.

My 15 minutes of fame

This feels great! I am featured in greek Lucky magazine's June's issue, as "designer of the month". I don't know if this will mean anything for my business, for the moment I am just enjoying it. They also put a link of my shop on their site.

It was about time

Ftiaxto.gr is the first big greek site dedicated to crafting and creating in general. Made by women (of course) who are crafters themselves is full of information, ideas, tutorials about crafting for all those people who have a good time creating. Although it's in greek it's worth visiting because it has a lot of links that lead to sites written in english and it's very likely you find something interesting.

Beach beauties

I would like to introduce you these beautiful ladies having fun by the sea. You will find them very soon, them and their friends in my shop on brooches and pendants, made of decoupaged images on a papier maché base.

Creative jewelry display

I am looking for ideas to creatively display jewelry. I don't want to buy one, just something I could make myself, and of course should be beautiful, original, easy, fast and cheap to make. Look what I found:










Some more ideas with great style in Martha Stewart's site:





Here you will find a tutorial on how to make a necklace display.



I also have an idea of my own (yes, I do have ideas sometimes) to make a jewelry display but I will show you in one of my next posts.

For fun and inspiration

It's been a long time since I updated my blog and I missed it. I'm in the process of listing new jewerly to my shop, which takes a lot of time. Just to relax a bit I browsed the net for some color therapy. Here are the colors, enjoy and use them as inspiration for your creations.



Πέρασε πολύς καιρός που ενημέρωσα αυτό το blog και μου έλειψε. Είμαι στη διαδικασία του να περνάω καινούργια κοσμήματα στο κατάστημά μου, και μου πέρνει πολύ χρόνο. Για να χαλαρώσω λίγο έκανα μία βόλτα στο internet για λίγη χρωματοθεραπεία. Απολαύστε τα χρώματα και χρησιμοποιείστε τα σαν έμπνευση για τις δημιουργίες σας.
