So.... as I was going through stuff, trying to clean clutter out of my life (you are talking to a certified pack rat here, the rattiest of the bunch!!) I came across a silverware holder... Well, I like the way it looks, and got to thinking that maybe it would somehow make a good jewelry display for my upcoming craft fair. I need more necklace display, and I thought I could hang them from it. I double checked my sanity with craft fair pal, Tronsgirl and she agreed it had some promise--tho' it is not quite ready as-is. I was thinking it would be cool to wire wrap some beads around it, but I think it also needs some sort of backing--makes my eyes cross to look at it from far away...... I will have to give it more thought, but any ideas or suggestions would be welcome!
Here it is with some sample necklaces. The metal pieces in back kinda bug me, and also would make it harder to put something up against the back....
Also, you can see how it looks so "busy" being able to see through it!
Here is a close up... I think the jewelry looks nice against the mesh.
Here is something behind it (obviously nothing I would actually use, it is just propped up) just to give you a clearer picture... and it just looks better, doesn't it? To break the space up? But ok, WHAT do I use, and how do I do it???? I did think about turning it around and maybe hanging some bracelets from the metal pieces, but it really doesn't give me enough necklace room then, and I really already have a nice bracelet display (and not a ton of braclets). Hmmmmmmm....

What about wrapping a piece of solid color fabric around the front of it, leaving yourself about an inch at the top to hook necklaces through? Solid white, solid black...
Yes, our "theme" is black and silver--I will have to play with that... how do you think I should finish the top of the fabric, the edge that would show? Just hem it? Or something fancier???
Maybe something like this:

Or, just hem it, and use silver thread. Maybe hem the top & leave it simple so it doesn't conflict with the necklaces, but put something fancier at the bottom?
I'm just sort of thinking in print... lol
Oooh, I like that bias tape! I guess it is finally just time to get "hands-on" and start fooling with it!! Thank you so much for your ideas!!!!! :-)
