Bring A Smile With Homemade Gifts

 My favorite thing to do is give a homemade gift. Be it a holiday, birthday or just because. The best thing about it is seeing the happiness and surprise of the recipient!
After seeing several very unique ideas for displaying your jewelry on Pinterest, I made this jewelry display for my sister's birthday. I used an old frame, wood, chicken wire and paint that I had lying around the house. I found the drawer pulls at our local hobby lobby store, half off of course! I never pay full price for anything there!


The earrings hang perfectly from the chicken wire and come on and off easily!


She had just enough jewelry to fill it nicely, with room to spare.

I am really happy with the results and even more happy to see how much my sister loved it! It looks great hanging in her bathroom!



I am always searching for new ideas for crafting, decorating and gifting.
My mother-in-law has so many grandchildren I decided she needed somewhere to display pictures of the kiddo's. I made her a super cute sign for Christmas, one that she can easily change pictures in and out of.


I kept it on the smaller scale, so not to overwhelm her wall space. I bought the wood plaque, clothes pins and ribbon on sale at a my favorite craft store. I had the paints of course, and I used a stencil I had for the words. The photos needed to be fairly small, so I printed wallet sized photos from Wal-Mart.

She loved it!
