This weekend I went crazy searching for a particular pair of earrings. My jewelry was a tangled mess and I was beyond frustrated trying to get ready in a hurry and not finding what I wanted. I decided then to take time out to craft a solution. This is a simple project that is cute, effective, and easy to create.

Materials
Tree branch
Sandpaper
Spray paint
Flowerpot
Dirt
Rocks
Moss or lichen
Directions


Step 1: Cut a tree branch down into a size that fits the proportion of your flowerpot.

Step 2: Clean up the surface of the tree branch with sandpaper. Rub any loose bark or bits of twigs off until the branch is smooth.

Step 3: Spray paint the branch. Coat it twice, and let it fully dry.

Step 4: Plant the branch deep in the flower pot. Pack the dirt in to hold it up. Place a rock in between the branch and the edge of the flower pot to support the branch where it cantilevers over. Be sure to secure it well enough so that it can hold the weight of your jewelry collection.


Step 5: Cover the dirt with moss or lichen. Add jewelry, and admire your work!


Great idea for hanging things. I am going to have to make one of these soon.
You might want to use plaster of paris instead of dirt in case it gets knocked over, you won’t have a mess to clean up!
Genius! Seriously. Thanks for the contribution!
i have been looking for something to do like this project for awile. Now i finally have some place shic to place jewelry.
sorry about the typo in chic!
