DIY bracelet holder

Do
you have a favourite store that no one else knows about?
I
am a huge fan of little boutiques. 

You can always find them, hiding around the corner of a street,
three blocks down from Glassons and Supre which is why
it is undiscovered and no one else shops there. You can find the most
amazing dresses, 

one-off individual pieces, tonnes of cute jewelry, and they're often 

inexpensive. 
(Please note: I do not own this image!)

I found myself
in a store recently and it was like a 

fairytale. Clothes and jewelery surrounding everything, mannequins 

modeling handbags, hats and watches. It had extra rooms out the back with
even 

more gorgeous clothing.

But you may be surprised to know that my favourite item in the store was
actually the jewelery stand. 

If you're like me, you have all of your bracelets, necklaces, rings and 

earrings shoved into one draw, making it completely and utterly 

impossible to untangle that adorable beaded necklace you were given by 

your super trendy cousin from Italy last Christmas. What really caught 

my eye was a plain bracelet holder stand. So simple, yet so effective. 

I rummaged through my bag to find my wallet and sighed when I remembered i
had just blown all my money on a black and white zebra-striped scarf not 5
minutes before. But then something struck me, and I thought to myself, "I
could do that!" believe me when I tell you I 

was excited about this.



So I did. I made
it.


And if you are interested in making one of these yourself (which of 

course you should be), here are my instructions. So without further 

ado, (I apologise for the massive intro) 
You
will need:
•The
inside of a glad wrap cardboard roll or a similar tube


•Some coloured paper (or plain white paper and some paints if you would
prefer to decorate that way)


•Scissors


•Double sided tape


•A wooden stick (or a wide pencil)


•A ruler


•A base of some sort (I used an empty eclipse mints box, but you can use a
large styrafome square or whatever works best for you)






Measure half way on your cardboard tube and cut a slit in the width of the
pencil or wooden stick. Then poke the stick through so that it fits nice
and snug.

Cut two rectangles of coloured paper large enough to fit over he ends. 

Tape them down on the sides

Then cut a piece of the paper large enough to fit around the tube. Use 

double sided tape to secure it in place. Be sure to cut a hole in the 

paper where the wooden stick will sit.

Cover the base in paper and if you are using styrafome, press the 

stick through the middle, attaching it to both the base and the tube. 

If you like you can decorate it with paints, pens and even magazine cut outs.

Display your bracelets!

Good luck :)
