Jewelry / Small Item Display Idea
Materials: old wood stair spindle, wine corks, wood glue, sand paper, stain, painters tape
Tools: saw, drill
When Artistry Day Spa & Salon
asked to have a display of our wine cork key chains, of course I said
yes! Now, I have never made a key chain display before but I wasn’t
going to say no. How exciting someone wanted to display our cork key
chains in their shop! I drew up some ideas and showed them to the quiet
half of The Wooden Bee, my husband Kyle. We collect a variety of
materials in our recycling efforts and I always like to consult him on
new projects. After discussing several materials, we settled on an old
stair spindle.
I cut it up before I thought to take a picture, but here it is pieced back together.
We made three cuts for three jewelry displays and an extra wood block (that I’m sure will be reused for another project).
Then we drilled a hole through the stair spindle. We used a wine cork as grommets to secure a wood pole. Simply drill out the middle of a wine cork and cut it in half to make the grommets. You can use a little wood glue to help secure the grommets (& pole) as well.
Next, I sanded and stained the wood display and wood pole, after covering the wine cork grommets with painters tape. We should have waited to fit the cork grommets until after staining, but we wanted to make sure we could secure the wood display pole before we got any further in the process.
I added little cork “caps” to the wood pole
so nothing could slide off. Simply use cut and hollowed ends of wine
corks. We have three more displays to make, so I get more detailed with
our new idea in future posts!
I loved this project… just another reason to save the wood!!!
