Silverware Tray Turned Jewelry Display

Scratched up wooden silverware trays- the organizer inserts for your kitchen drawers- are a mainstay at thrift shops and are easy to repurpose as jewelry organizers.

Beat up from the knives and forks it once held, this flatware tray is ready to for a repurpose, don't you think? I just love wooden items from the thrift store- they hold so much possibility and are easily transformed.





After wiping it down, I gave it a quick coat of paint. I like to think of paint as a way to "seal off" its previous life!





To add a little panache, I tried my hand at a few stencils- I just love the combo of jade green and gold. I also added a few hooks for my hanging jewelry. Find the full DIY tutorial HERE!





And then I added in a few pieces of jewelry- necklaces hung on the hooks, and then rings, earrings, boxed jewels, and brooches tucked away on the little divider "shelves".





Isn't it pretty? I would obviously need a few more of these to hold all my pieces, but this would be great in a dorm room or an efficient apartment- definitely perfect for a small space!
