It is finally here...
The $6 Jewelry Display Tutorial
($9 but you don't use all the supplies up
Cost is for all displays, not just this one)
NECKLACE DISPLAY INSTRUCTIONS
(Others to follow)
Supplies:
All items came from the Dollar Tree Dollar Store or Walmart
Poster Board (2 Sheets = $1)
Foam Board (2 Sheets = $2)
Glue Sticks and Glue Gun (25 Sticks = $1)
Ribbon ($1)
Glass Rocks ($1 bag clear)
Fabric ($3 - 3 Yards to be safe = $1 Yard at Walmart)
Scissors
Exacto Knife
Pencil
Below are the steps used to make the necklace display
Pictured to the left in the above photo
Step 1:
Piece 1 - Cut 1 Large Rectangle from the foam board
Piece 2 - Cut 1 Rectangle the same width as the large rectangle and approx 2" shorter (to taste)
Piece 3 - Cut 1 rectangle for base the same width as previous rectangles and about 1/3 the length of Rectangle
Step 2:
Glue the 3 rectangle together using the hot glue gun
Take a portion of the glass rocks and hot glue them into the bottom of the display for weight
Your display should look like this...
Step 3:
Cut 2 triangles from the poster board to cover the sides of the display
Tip: Lie the foam board display on the poster board and draw a line around the display onto the poster board
You should have this...
Step 4:
Glue the triangles onto the sides of the necklace display
Step 5:
Lie your fabric flat on the table and place the angled front onto the fabric
Cut fabric to have enough to wrap around the display to the back
Step 6:
Don't worry about the back being pretty with the fabric
You will make a panel to cover that
Hot glue fabric to the display pulling tight and putting glue on bottom and back of display. Avoid gluing on the front, it generally soaks through the fabric.
Step 7:
Take your ribbon and cut a piece long enough to wrap around the top of the display
This one has two rows- 1 row for earrings to match the necklaces below
Hot glue the ribbon around with the ends and glue in the back
Step 8:
Using left over fabric or poster board cut a rectangle neatly to create a panel on the back to cover all the fabric ends, ribbon ends and hot glue
Glue neatly to cover
Step 9:
Take 4 glass rocks and glue to bottom of display to create feet in the corners

Fantastic I'm sure this is going to be handy for a lot of people!
I'm sure this is going to sound like a stupid question, but how do the earring cards stay in place behind the ribbon?
Thanks!
The earring cards are the ones in the tutorial below....
When you put the earring in the holes it creates a space for the ribbon to fit into.
You gotta love handmade displays for handmade products! Great post!
wow what a great tutorial...thanks for taking the time to share!
Very helpful tutorial - thank you! The ones in the initial display look as if they stand straight up - glad you mentioned the slope. And VERY glad you pointed out the TWO rows of ribbon (or whatever you use that's appropriate to one's style), so that you can have the matching earrings placed above :)
Thank you very much!
this'll come in handy for all the jewelry makers out there--thanks for sharing!
