Jewelry Frame Tutorial

Hey everyone! This is Rachel and Ali, we are the girls
behind The Wood Connection blog.
Today we are going to show you a tutorial for one of the cute jewelry frames we made for Fresh Living on Channel 2 a couple weeks ago. We've had a HUGE response from customers who loved this project!
We chose the “Sarah” 11x14 frame and it painted it Caribbean Blue.
This frame sells in our store for $16.95.


 
Next, we had 5 holes drilled along the bottom and
found some cute knobs that we will hang necklaces from.
Our frames do not come with holes pre-drilled
but we can do it for .15 a hole.




Next, we found chicken wire at the hardware store for $8.00 for 50 feet.
Using wire cutters we cut a piece big enough the cover the back of the frame.




Using a staple gun we stapled every few inches of the chicken wire along the back.
This is a 2 person job- have one person pull the wire tight while the other staples.
 




Ta-dah! You are done!




Now for the best part!
We will giving away an unfinished frame with chicken wire
and your choice of paint color to make your own

To enter, leave a comment in this post saying
what your favorite kind of jewelry is. (Necklaces, bracelets, earrings...)
Please leave your email in the comment so that we may contact the winner.
We will select a winner on Friday April 20th.
