As promised from yesterday's Sneak Peek, I have a fun tutorial for you today! I have my first Spring show this weekend and I'm working on new displays. It seems each season I have so many new items that I have to reconfigure my displays and set up. Displaying post earrings is one thing that I've found to be tricky. I normally put my earrings on folded cards and hang them on a display. Well, the posts tend to poke through the card backs when I'm transporting them. So I created a new display for them :)
I started with a shadow box I've had around for a couple of years. I bought these thinking I was going to make scrapbooks out of them and just never got around to it. It was high time I put it to use.
I cut a sheet of wood with my laser to fit the bottom half of the box. I took into account for the dividers and cut holes for the posts to go through.
I then painted it to match the rest of the box. I like the look of the bare wood, but with my earrings also being wood, I wanted to make sure they stood out.
Finally I glued the cut wood to my shadow box to complete my new display. I left the top three compartments uncovered for other items like cuff links and rings. Both the rings and cuff links are new items I'll have at this show, so I'm glad to have my display worked out for them as well!
I printed some price tags that I'll attach to the display so I don't have to individually mark each item...another bonus. I'll be sure to get a picture of the display in use this weekend :)
