Mother Shirley's Jewelry Display Case

For Christmas, Tom and I decided his mom should have a Jewelry Display cabinet for her Craft Show Jewelry Sales. Tom worked on the box, I stained it a pretty Red Mahogany color and added a velvety pink backing in it. We used Plexi instead of glass as it is lighter to carry and less chance of breaking. I have a feeling we might be making more soon!

Megan's Jewelry Cabinet

A year ago, we found a beautiful antique maple mirror at an Antique shop.  I thought it would be a beautiful jewelry cabinet for Megan.  Tom agreed.

We got some Maple lumber from a place on the reservation and Tom planed it down. Tom built a box for it and put a natural clear stain on it to enhance the natural  maple wood. I lined the back with a red velvety fabric and added the brass hooks and jewelry hangers. I drilled and screwed in 39 hooks for necklaces, 10 hooks for bracelets and 7 brass rods for Earrings. Tom assembled it using a sturdy piano hinge and a lock.

After Christmas, he hung it on the wall on top of fern strips screwed into the studs as it is such a heavy piece and Megan immediately started filling it.
