Jewelry Displays

I searched through the local thrift shops and found several inexpensive items that make great displays for my earrings at shows. I found a couple small "curio shelves" (my favorite is one intended for mounting in a corner) and a framed mirror. The thing they have in common is that they are made from wood. I painted all of them the same off-white color, then added one of those spray on texture finishes. They all look color coordiated and professional. Then I got a bunch of the "L" shaped cup hooks from the hardware store - and put as many as I could all the way around the edges of the shelves and frame. They are spaced about 1/2" wider than the size of my earring cards. I have seen bracelet holders made in a similar way - the basis of the holder is a "Pringles" potato chip can - but when covered in a velvet fabric and mounted on a little wooden stand, they look great!
