Jewelry Tree: DIY
Urban Outfitters has a fabulous jewelry tree for $26, but looking at it, we decided to make our own. Here is an easy step-by-step how to for making your own jewelry tree.
Supplies:
- tree branch
- wooden base, JoAnn’s has the best prices
- drill
- wood glue
- spray paint—any color you want
1. Find the perfect dead branch. If necessary, cut it down to size. If you cut the branch off of a live tree, give it a few days to die and stiffen up.
2. Drill a hole in the center of your wooden base, that is just big enough for the base of the branch, but not too much bigger.
3. Fill the hole with wood glue and put the base of the branch in the hole, securing tightly. Let it dry.
4. Spray paint your jewelry tree. Let it dry and, voila! You have a lovely jewelry tree.

This sounds like fun! Especially if you spray paint the branch a fun metallic color, like pewter or bronze.
I totally love this. I’m featuring it on my site on Thursday. Your site rocks!
