Day of Art with Erin: snazzy jewelry holdin' frame

On Saturday, we were graced with snow yet again, but instead of letting it get me down, I pulled on my Uggs and headed to Home Depot to work on a project that I have been thinking about for quite some time but has been neglected due to lack of motivation and uncertainty on how I wanted to execute it.  I have been wanting to make a jewelry holding frame cuz I haven't found anything that I like and all the jewelry I wear regularly ends up hanging out on my dresser.  Embarrassing, I know...
So I found these wonderful aluminum sheets at Home Depot that are perfect for what I was looking for.  I also got a 10X20 inch floating glass frame from Gordmans, cuz they're cheap. This is a quick, easy project, took me less than a hour. Enjoy! 

The supplies you will be needing:
decorative aluminum sheet
picture frame (I prefer floating glass frames)
metal clippers
marker

1. Remove the back of the frame (while listening to Damien Rice :)

2. Remove the glass from the frame
3. Trace glass with a marker onto the aluminum
4. Then cut along the line... 
5. Place aluminum in the frame
 6. Replace the back...
7. Then hang it all the wall
8. Add some S hooks for hanging your necklaces
5. Add some jewelry and you're done! 

And to not deceive, my dresser is still a mess, but not with jewelry :)
