Screen Window
Jewelry Holder
This is one of two jewelry holders
my husband, daughter and I made. We got
the windows from freecycle (freecycle.org).
They had glass in them. We popped
out a piece of trim:
Do this from the back of the
window. Be very careful, the glass may
break. Save the trim piece if
possible.
We then sanded and refinished the
frame. You could easily paint it or just
leave it antiqued looking. My husband
stapled in a piece of screening from the back and replaced the trim piece. Basically you are just replacing the glass
with screen. You want a little clearance
in the back of the screen to make it easier to hook earrings into it. We then screwed hooks into the frame on all
four sides on the front.
We put a sturdy
picture hanger on the back and hung them up. We left the original latch and hinges, I use them to hang my long necklaces. I use the top row of hooks for my watches and the bottom row for bracelets.
I love how it looks in the
room. It really helps me to see my
jewelry. I can see all my earrings,
bracelets and watches. Nothing gets
tangled. Enjoy!
