I've been on the hunt for a cute jewelry holder to place on my dresser. I've struck out. They're either too expensive or not the style I'm looking for.
I saw this really cute ring holder at Anthropologie and I fell in love, but it was way over priced for something I could make myself. And that had me thinking, "Wait, I could totally make this myself!"
So I did.
First, I went to my local thrift store and picked up some floral, tiny plates. There were so many it was difficult to choose just one. So I got a few and decided I'd make a couple and give them away as gifts.
They ranged in price from around $0.25 to $1.00. WHAT? SO CHEAP!
Next, the hard part for me was finding toy animals that were cheap. I wasn't about to spend $10.00 for an animal toy (although it would be cheaper than the original ring holder). I wanted to be able to make multiple for a small amount of money. I finally found this package with a ton of different animals that was around $10.00. But of course I used a coupon so it was 50% off. BARGAIN.
Next, I just picked up a small can of metallic gold spray paint. (Which I also used a coupon on).
Making the actual ring holder is so easy it should be illegal.
All I did was spray paint each animal outside on some newspaper and let them dry.
Next, I just took a glue gun to the feet of the animals and stuck them to the plate.
Uhhh. That's it?
YES! THAT EASY!
And SOOO cute!
