Picture Frame Jewelry Art

Why do we do it? Why do we save a picture frame that has broken glass? Do we really think we’ll end up traipsing down to the glass store – do we even have a glass store? – and buying a new glass piece for the picture frame? Not likely. Still, it’s hard to throw away a beautiful frame simply because the glass is broken. Well, since the frame is there, and the glass is no good, there’s a quick craft you can do to recycle it, while making something really pretty for your bedroom.

The size of the frame doesn’t matter. You can make a large arrangement, or a much smaller display. Since most of us don’t have a ready supply of cork you might need to make a quick trip to a nearby craft store. There, they sell cork by the roll or by the sheet. You can also order it online. Use thin cork to turn that picture frame into a beautiful art piece in minutes.

Use the frame backing to cut a piece of cork for the picture frame. Slide the cork in place as if it was the glass. Replace the backing of the picture frame and stand it or hang it where you want.

Use push pins or tacks to hang jewelry on the cork. You can use colored pins or tacks or you can decorate them. Glue tiny novelties onto the heads of the tacks, or even cover them with glitter.

Look through old jewelry, or pieces you never wear anymore, and choose the ones you want to exhibit on the cork frame. The chosen pieces can be a matched set, like a necklace, bracelet, and earrings, or can be mismatched pieces. You can align the pieces in neat rows, place a large piece off to one side – with the smaller pieces on the opposite side – or create your own arrangement. Don’t have any jewelry? You can find interesting pieces at flea markets, yard sales, thrift stores, and secondhand stores.

The jewelry art piece is beautiful in a bedroom but, if you don’t need an art piece, it can be used to organize chains, earrings, and other jewelry pieces. Depending on the type of frame you’re using, you can make an arrangement on a wall, with sconces or shelves of flowers beside it, or just set the picture frame on a table with a vase, a book, or other accents. It’s eye-catching and unusual.
