A How To: Jewelry Shadow Boxes

I had these pine shadow boxes with sliding glass fronts that someone gave me a couple years back. They've been sitting in my garage and it hit me yesterday what I could do with them. I originally was given them to use for displaying jewelry at shows, but they were a bit bulky with all of the other things I had to bring and they had glass, so I never used them and they sat in my garage all sad and lonely. So I decided to put them to my own personal use. 2 days ago I purchased a big pad of scrapbook paper on clearance at a store and I just loved the colors. I used some to line drawers of an old banquette. I also used it for this project. I measured and then put the fun scrapbook paper on the backs of the boxes with a little glue stick and added little screw on hooks. Done. And for under $5.
I have a shelf in my closet that they can be displayed. With so much of my own personal jewelry, it's nice to be able to see it sometimes.

The Woes of Jewelry Display

I am always seeking new ways to display my jewelry that won't be heavy to carry to shows. The last show I did, I was pretty pleased with the results. Except the black displays but that problem was solved yesterday when I went shopping in Old Towne Orange and found a shop going out of business. They were selling their displays and I got some really nice white necklace displays to round out what I already have.
I love my little corner shelves. They fold up flat. the silver boxes in the center I also love and own 6. Usually 2-3 go to shows with me. So the best thing that I found is this textured gold and silver paper. It's as thick as grocery bag paper and it's wrinkly like if you wrinkled up a grocery bag. I layer them different ways and it highlights the items on them. The best part? It's easy to transport and light as well, paper.
