I've only been sewing since the beginning of 2011 (seventh grade home ec doesn't count), and I've already built up a large collection of spare fabric bits from various crafts. So far I've found out of the way places to put them, but soon there will be too many to stash under beds! Lately my goal has been to use a bunch of my remnants and clear out some room for more.
Today's craft is based on an idea I've seen on other craft blogs- a framed jewelry display. Here's the version that finally got me inspired to make my own, courtesy of Poppytalk.
First off, my materials:
Foam board- $2, Hobby Lobby
Fabric- $0, remnant from a previous craft
Nails/ hammer- $0, already owned those too
Wood frame- $12, Hobby Lobby (I have no doubt that cheaper frames can be found though)
Spray adhesive
Pins/tacks- I used $3 beading pins from Jo-Ann's and have plenty left over for future crafts
How- To:
First, cut out the right size of foam board- slightly smaller than the area in the frame. Cut fabric 2" larger on every side, and glue (or tape, doesn't matter) to the foam board.
Cut more fabric for the frame, 2" extra fabric on both the outside and inside of the frame window. Glue on frame.
Glue/tape foam board to frame. I had a damaged spot on the fabric in one of the corners, so I made a twisty flower by scrunching up one edge of fabric and glueing the whole thing on top of the spot.
Place pins on foam board as needed to hang jewelry on. Suggestion- put the pins in so they tilt up slightly, so that when the frame is on the wall the jewelry doesn't slide off!
Hang on wall, add jewelry, and show to all your friends!
