Make your own Jewelry Stand for under 50 cents!

How to Make your own Jewelry Stand for less than 50 cents!
A couple months ago I went to Joann Fabrics and I found some adorable jewelry stands. I wanted to buy a couple to use when I set up my booth at festivals and craft shows, but I did not want to spend I think it was around 8 bucks on one! So I took a picture of it, and vowed that one day soon I would make one! A couple days ago that vow came true! Me and my sister did some trial and error, and some creative brainstorming, and we ended up making one for less than 50 cents! And not to toot my own whistle, but it looks good!

The picture on the left is the actual picture I took at Joann Fabrics (I took it with my flip phone, that's why the quality isn't very good haha), and the picture on the right is the one that we made! I think ours looks sooo good! The only difference is that I didn't use velvety fabric like the one at the store, the bottom post is a little thicker, and instead of just a boring old base, we used a 45 record! Which I think looks awesome!
These jewelry stands are PERFECT for crafters who sell their wares at craft shows and festivals! They work best to hold bracelets (my sister makes hemp bracelets that I sell), but they can also hold necklaces by wrapping the necklace twice around the post.
If you don't sell jewelry, you can still make one of these! Right now I have mine sitting in my room holding my jewelry and it looks SO adorable! And for less than a dollar, and less than half an hour, there's really no reason you shouldn't make one! 


So here is my super simple Jewelry Stand Tutorial!
How to Make Your Own Jewelry Stand
What You'll Need:
-A hot glue gun. 
If you don't have a hot glue gun, go get one right now! If you do any crafts of any kind at all, ever, you can use a hot glue gun! Thrift stores usually have lots of hot glue guns layin around, and you can always find them at craft stores!
-A small (45) record. 
The thrift store by my house (from which I buy everything I need in life, and they know me by name by now!), has small records for 5 for $1.00, so less than a quarter for one!
-Black Fabric.
If you're using the stand for shows, I recommend using black fabric, because it serves as a blank backdrop to better showcase your jewelry. If you use a colorful or patterned fabric, it will only distract from your jewelry. The only exception for this would be if you sell all black jewelry, then using white fabric would be a very good contrast. If you're making this stand as a gift for someone, or for your own jewelry at home, you can use whatever fabric you want! You can just use some of your fabric scraps (all good crafters should have a fabric scrap bin where they put all the scraps from when they're making projects!), I used scraps from a t-shirt that I had in my fabric bin.
-3 toilet paper tubes, or 1 paper towel tube and 1 toilet paper tube.
My family doesn't use paper towels because they are very wasteful and unnecessary, so 3 toilet paper tubes worked perfectly.

Picture
What to Do:
Once your hot glue gun is warmed up, make a ring of glue around the hole of the record. Immediately (the glue dries really fast, so you have to be quick!) stick the toilet paper tube to it. It should be a very close fit, as the toilet paper tube is just a little bit bigger than the record hole.

Picture
Once the glue is dried and the toilet paper tube feels secure (this should take less than a minute), take your fabric scrap and put it around the tube so you can see how big it has to be. I used the sleeves from a t-shirt, and only had to cut it once (down the middle). Cover the toilet paper tube in glue, and wrap the fabric around it. The extra fabric on the top, just tuck it into the top of the tube! You don't have to glue it or cut it or anything!

Picture
For the top of the stand, take your two toilet paper tubes and glue one inside the other, or get your one paper towel tube, and put glue on the entire outside of the tube. Wrap the fabric securely around it. Add more glue as necessary.

Picture
Now for the final steps;
Tuck the ends of the fabric into the tube holes!
Glue the top tube onto the bottom tube!
If you want the record to be covered, cover that with the fabric also.
and you're done!
And here is your beautiful finished product!
Picture
Now go on get to it! These make great gifts, and are absolutely adorable!


P.S I took all of these pictures with my brand new camera that I am absolutely in love with! My mom and fiance chipped in together and got me the Canon Powershot for Christmas and it's amaaaazing! It makes all your pictures look so professional and beautiful! If you're looking for a new camera, I would definitely recommend the Canon Powershot!

The wedding ring is one of the sensitive and important aspects for every wedding ceremony. Wedding rings are gifted on the wedding day by both men and women to each other. It is a type of relationship binding thing. It holds so much of importance in both men and women's life. Wedding rings are found in many styles and designs and metals. In olden days, women usually like to wear yellow gold rings, but now fashion and attitude have changed.
