How to make a jewelry display panel

Here's a cheap easy DIY for displaying jewelry that was inspired by Emily Ballard's house tour at Apartment Therapy. This is my favorite kind of DIY - easy and free. Plus, it recycles product packaging.

Supplies:

Small flat cardboard boxes or squares of styrofoam. (I used two packaging inserts from a laptop box.)

Scrap fabric or two scarves

Push pins

Scrap posterboard

Tools:

Office stapler

Spray adhesive (optional)

Paper cutter (optional)

Cut the fabric a few inches wider than your boxes.

Staple the fabric on the back beginning in the middle of each side, pulling the fabric tight across the front of the box.

Working from the center of each side, staple toward each corner, pulling the fabric tight and toward the corner.

Fold the corners and staple them.

Tidy up the back with a piece of posterboard attached with spray adhesive or a set of push pins.


To hang the display panel, the cardboard can be shoved directly onto a nail, or you can make a hanger on the back with two push pins and a rubber band. Or you can make an easel.

Cut a square piece of posterboard and then cut the square across the diagonal.

Fold each half into half and attach with push pins.

For more tilt, cut the bottom edge at a sharper angle.

Use more push pins to display your jewelry.
