Old Frames Make Great Jewelry Displays

Here's an idea we've used to display earrings for sale and thought it would be fun to share with everyone. Works great whether you have a shop or are selling at the local flea market.
I picked these old frames up at a yard sale for almost nothing.  They were in pretty bad shape, but nothing beyond some gluing and a little touch up paint to bring them back
Next I purchased some foam core, an inexpensive item easily found in any art supply store, and cut it to fit the area where a picture would go. Then I covered the foam core with black stretch velvet cloth which is held together by duct tape in the back. (It's not pretty in the back but I'm sure you could think of  an alternate method that would be!) It's important here to use stretch velvet because it's so forgiving to work with and your finished piece won't develop wrinkles.  Small nails around the back keep the velvet "picture" in place.
Frame 2Use our U-Pins, available in brass or silver, to hang your earrings on.  Ta-Dah! That's it.  Quick and easy and the results will make your jewelry appear like a work of art~!
