I've haven't been selling as of much lately as my work has been keeping my very busy. But I am getting ready to start up again in August. I have done some items on the back end such as ordering more jewelry, got approved for a sellers permit (if you intend to sell at a public venue, it's a must) and making more display cases to highlight the beautiful jewelry! One of these things happens to be making a new jewelry case very functional and serves as a case to house all jewelry and a display case. It is very well polished and an eye catcher. And the great part is when you tell people you made it yourself, they are totally amazed. Here are two that I've made. Both different but made the same way. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to message me.
Materials:
- 2 Shadow Boxes ( Same size) I got mine from Michaels. A bit pricy but if you wait, you can buy them for 40% off
- Double Prong Peg Hooks- Home depot has many different sizes, shapes, colors
- Power Drill
Step 1:
Take the backing out of the shadow box. Measure and space out where you would like each peg to hang.
Step 2:
Drill holes on the board, making sure that each peg hole fits. I had a bit of a hard time (first time using a drill!) but with enough practice, you'll be able to gauge it.
Step 3:
After you're done drilling, put the shadow box back together. I used a lint remover to get rid of any dust particles on the board. Repeat steps 1-3 for the second shadow box. Once it's all put back together, hang the pegs and put your jewelry on it!
Step 4 (Optional):
You can also have an option of putting in handles- which helps to transport. Below is the very same one I have on mine and it's about $4 at Home Depot. You can pick one that you like the best but this gave it a clean finish.
Step 5 (Optional):
I wanted to merge both the shadow boxes so I got this hinge and drilled holes on the side. They come in different colors and sizes.
