DIY: Simple Jewellery Organiser


 Something different today: a DIY. I made a lot of things in my room including makeup and jewellery storage.
I made this a few months back and thought it would make a great DIY post. It's really simple to make and it can be made using stuff you have lying about at home.


Materials
~Fabric (around 30cm x 30cm)
~Soft toy or cushion stuffing (You can use cotton wool if you don't have any)
~Drawing pins and/or thumb-tacks
~Strong cardboard cut into a heart shape
~Masking tape (Or strong glue)
~Ribbon

Steps
1. Once you have your cardboard cut out, measure the fabric to fit around the cardboard. Make sure you leave enough extra fabric to go around the edges.
2. Put the stuffing in between the cardboard and the fabric. I made a little diagram to help (Above). Make sure you don't have too much stuffing or else the pins won't go all the way through



 
3. Attach the sides of the fabric to the back of the cardboard. I used masking tape although even though it is the back, it turned out very messy and it might be better to use glue. 

4. Attach the pins anywhere on the heart. Make sure they go fully into the cardboard.



 5. Attach a ribbon to the back using tape or glue and find a place to hang it. Then you can put you necklaces onto it!

 I use it for a lot of my jewellery. I have keyrings, bracelets, ribbons and necklaces on it. .

Thanks for reading!
