Do It Yourself Coffin Jewelry Box // Hinged Box Jewelry Holder

Hi everyone! In case you missed it (because you all know that I'm such a bad blogger!) this is my new tutorial video. It is a jewelry box. For this craft you can use any type of hinged box or box in general. It's really easy and makes a great jewelry storage solution for cheap!

SSS (Stylish Smithereens Shop) Update and Future Plans

I haven't really done anything tutorial or review related all week, but do have a nail art tutorial coming soon. I thought I'd take this opportunity to update you all on my shop and what the future holds for it.

First of all, I have been making jewelry like a fiend. I will spend my day off secluded in the craft/game room and design and create jewelry and other goodies with YouTube blasting for... hours. That's almost sad to say, but I find it nice to listen to music, watch my favorites, or learn something while my hands are busy.

Here are a few pictures of my most recent creations:

Polymer Clay Cookie Necklaces

Sailing Ship Beaded Bracelet

Caged Pearls Dangling Earrings

Elegant Lady Skeleton Cell Phone Charm Dust Plug

Beaded White Dream Catcher w/ Mixed Feathers

Various 4 Packs of Ribbon Elastic Hair Ties

These are just a few of the items I have been working on (click on the massive orange banner on the right to purchase...erm, I mean, support me!). I have other projects coming soon as well which include an upcycled military jacket, lots of knitted goodies (just in time for fall/winter!), more dream catchers, and some upcycled vintage items. I look forward to working on all of these things this month!

Easy DIY Necklace Storage

I finally organized my necklaces! That may sound like something small to you, but it's something exciting to me (especially as they have spent a lot of their time tangled together in a box). I had been looking at necklace trees and box hangers for months and finally decided on making something myself (surprise, surprise!) because I wasn't in love with anything else I saw. Upon wondering how I would go about doing this in an easy fashion I remembered seeing these 3M command hooks at Hobby Lobby. I bought some and wondered where I was going to use these.

I considered the inside of our bathroom sink cabinet or the linen cabinet in the hallway. Would that be a good spot for them? Then my beautiful armoire spoke to me, and, as you can see, I was already using the knobs on the front to hang things from.

When you open up these doors you can see how the wood dips in and divides. This was perfect. I could put three hooks on each side and use the area where the wood indents to align everything.

I had never used the hook products by 3M but it was really easy and had easy to follow instructions on the back of the package. When you need to remove the hooks you just pull the command strip downward and everything comes off without mess or ruining your wall or in this case armoire.
