Steampunk Jewelry Stand

We love scouring the flea market for fun finds. And we love love love jewelry! So it was a no brainer for us to marry the two!
We made this jewelry stand using china plates and wooden spools from the flea market. And just for fun, we added a little steampunk flair with little locks and tiny keys!
We found lots of china plates to choose from at the flea market. We looked for plates with swirly gold edging. For just a few dollars, we got a fancy dinner plate, salad plate, and a saucer!
To make the tiered jewelry display, we glued spools between the plates.Then to dress it up, we wrapped the spools with vintage-style filigrees and old rhinestone cup chain (from the flea market, of course!).
We wanted to hang pearl chain in swags from the underside of the plates, so we invented little hangers using shirt buttons. (The complete how-to for the little hangers is on our blog at http://runningwithsisters.com/under-lock-and-key-tiered-jewelry-display/)
We think this jewelry stand would also make a chic cupcake stand! To see the complete how-to, including how we glued the stacked plates and how to make the swag hooks, come over to our blog at RunningWithSisters.com. We have loads of flea market projects, and we are always available if you have any questions. Just leave us a comment and we'll reply!

    I love this! However since I am inclined to tangle necklaces & then unable to UNtangle them, I would only use this for earrings and bracelets.

    I will also put one in my spare room for guests.

    Thank you for sharing!

    It's beautiful, creative, easy, and low cost. I also would make another one a cupcake stand, but use it for a special tea get together with the little sandwiches and cakes. :)
