Make Your Own Custom Jewelry Display Stands

Here's a quick, easy and inexpensive project to make your own necklace and earring display stands.  I needed a way to take my jewelry pieces to workshops and to use as props for photos and wanted a custom look so I designed these unique jewelry stands.  I love the way they look and how easily you can customize with paint or scrapbook paper.  Using scrapbook paper gives endless options for color and pattern.  Make sure the pattern you choose doesn't compete with your jewelry!

Here's the link to my YouTube video for this project.  There's a bonus in the video to adapt this to an earring stand and a gallery of finished display stands.  The materials and tools are listed after the video.  Hope you enjoy.  Don't forget to subscribe, like or comment if you enjoyed this video and want to see more.  Thanks for joining me in my studio!
