Glam Your Life | DIY Jewellery Stand






I’ll be the first person to admit that anything that requires more than a few minutes to put together and any sort of carpentry tools I run the other way. Very, very fast. But since I'm on a spending ban until IMATS I'm trying to entertain myself without spending to much $$. So on that note I've decided to start 'Doing it Myself' and after this rather successful first attempt I think it will become more of a regular thing! 



So if you want to try your luck at making your own jewelry stand {It’s super easy, trust me, if I can do it you definitely can!} heres what your going to need for one stand:

-Two candle holders or little wine glasses,
- Three plates, all different sizes to give the tiered effect,
- Spray paint in whatever colour you want,
- Any sort of super glue you can get your hands on,
- Lots and lots of newspaper!


 


First of all cover your entire area with newspaper, although I still managed to get gold paint all over the deck. Whoopsies!! Then go crazy with whatever colour paint you want, I went with classic white and gold! 


{Heres what I ended up with, I got a little bit excited so I made two!}




Once you've finished with the spray paint mania let it sit and dry for a few hours, or if you have the time leave it overnight. After everything is dry grab some super strong glue, I pinched some industrial strength stuff out of my dads  shed and I don't think its going anywhere! Then start sticking everything together, to make sure its perfectly centred get a ruler and put a little mark in the centre otherwise its gonna look a little wonky. Let it dry for another few hours and voila! You can now brag about how creative you are :D
