Primitive jewelry tree

Take one chippy old door panel......add a twisty wire tree......and you have a funky and functional jewelry holder for hanging on the wall.

I added a wire vine to wind around it for more interest, which provides little places to hang rings and bracelets.

With the addition of a wire vine hanger at the top--it's ready to hang and display all my jewels---of which I have very few. This is probably the sum total of my collection (except for the boxes of vintage bits and pieces I have collected over the years to "do something with someday")

**I will probably list it on my Etsy---that is if I can force myself spend another hour in front of this computer today! The ice is melting, and if I stick to the main roads, I think I can safely venture out today! I am SO ready after a week of cabin fever!!

    Makes my fingers ache to see all the wire twisting...what is it about the rusty ol' wire that mesmerizes. I love using it as bails on my many projects, right now I'm making magnetic note hangers on old metal roofing shingles, I'll post pics next week.

    I think we may achieve a little bit of a thaw today as well, however, it makes little matter to us, as winter's here to stay until spring! But I'll venture out tomorrow for a lil' pickin'...can't stop us hardy Northuners...ha!

    Nancy, that is a GREAT piece! There are thousands of ladies that would love to have that for their jewelry, including me! You need to get a patent on that and reproduce it! I know you like to do one-of-a-kind creations, but that is the bomb, and you're the artist! LOVE IT! carrell
