Burlap to the Rescue

I was totally planning on showing you my table makeover today, until I couldn't for the life of me get any good pictures. The light wasn't good and the flash caused a glare over the whole project. I love it how it turned out, though the color that it is painted is a magnet for dust---and in my house that is really a bad thing. Stay tuned. Pictures are coming.

Here is a quick project that I worked on this afternoon. A jewelry frame is certainly not a new idea. Others have done these wonderful frames using chicken wire, screen, radiator covering and other mesh wire. I love them all. Olive Rue did a beautiful frame using tulle and this is what set my mind to working on mine today.





Although I had bought some chicken wire a couple of weeks ago, I decided to try my hand at this using burlap. It worked wonderfully. Just hot glue or staple the burlap to the back of the frame and add a ribbon or trim for necklaces. Some tiny "S" hooks would also work well. I love how Olive Rue hung her necklaces over the edges, but I just didn't have anywhere to prop mine at the moment.


Have a great Tuesday evening!
