Making old picture frames into Jewelry Hangers

I LOVE thrifting... I mean I  love it so much that it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE for me drive past the Goodwill with out a quick look. (Its such a problem in fact that Mr Filipino has figured out the routes around town that wont drive by the Goodwill or the Salvation army)

Today , however Mr Filipino was miles away at his day job (tee hee hee) and It was just me and Mr Personality... So I popped in , and I found the most amazing old wooden frames for $2.00.... (See why I love it) and a great wooden lamp $2.50
So $4.50 later I am at home with my treasures! I know exactly what I want to do with them. Since I have been dabbling in jewelry making I need a cute way to display it. 
I busted out my handy dandy can of Annie Sloan Chalk paint( have you met my friend Annie Sloan? She can be pricey but she goes on like Butter!!)( and she sticks to anything!)
I also grabbed some free labor 



(isn't he cute)
Once I fixed the paint he did (shut up you know you do it too) I grabbed the rest of my supplies
I had the fiberglass screen from when Mr Filipinpo replaced our slider screen thanks to our crazy Golden Doodle!
I cute a rather large square and began staple gunning (Grammar police be gone)
Once this was finished I just trimmed up the screen
Added some Jute twine that I had aquired at the good ole Dollar store
and 
TADA.....


 So For the grand total of $6.00 I have three GORGEOUS Jewelry displays!
Love,

  1. Yep, I practically have to shut my eyes every time I take the ride into town - well, unless I'm the one driving, of course. Every thrift store just calls out my name. ;)

    Thanks for linking to Time Travel Thursday. Hope you'll join the fun each week.

    Blessings,
