DIY Jewelry Holder


Looking for a convenient way to hang your jewelry so that it:
-Doesn't get tangled?
-Looks cute?
-Stays organized?

Well then I have the perfect DIY (Do It Yourself) for you.

What You'll Need:

For the Necklace holder:
-Shelf (got mine at Goodwill for $3.99!)
-Spray paint (If you don't like the color of the original shelf)
-Little hooks

For the Earring holder:
-Burlap (regular or metal)
-Picture frame


Necklace Holder:
First, spray paint the shelf if you don't like the color it is. Next, all you need to do is add tiny hooks (however many you want) to the underneath, or if you want you could put them sticking out from the side, and voila! It is that simple! Hang your shelf up and start adding your jewlery to it!



Earring Holder:
This one is just as easy. Cut a piece of burlap just a tad bit bigger than the frame back. Hot glue it in and you are all set! Hang your earrings on it, and you can either hang the frame on the wall, or you can lean it against the wall right on top of your necklace holder like I did! :)

Dryer Sheet Dress

This week, I competed against more than 20 people at the FCCLA (Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America) Texas State Leadership Conference in the Recycle and Redesign category. I had to turn something old into something new, so I decided to make a dress out of dryer sheets and the inside of a cat food bag for the top. It took me a total of 62 hours to make the dress, using a total of 582 dryer sheets. The dress only costed a total of $4.19 though!

All of my hard work definitely paid off and I got 1st place, therefore moving me on to nationals! I also received a scholarship to FIDM (my dream school)!

Nationals will be July 6-11, so keep an eye out because I'll be posting an update on how I did! :)





I even made a matching purse! More pictures of the dress are on my Instagram: @felicia_murray
