Zebra Jewelry Organizer with @aptguide and @plaidcrafts

If you missed my zebra themed teen room, head on over and check it out now.  Also don't forget to enter the giveaway for a $50 American Express gift card from Apartment Guide
Now do you want to see how I made the zebra jewelry organizer?

It was actually pretty simple.  The trick?  Finding some of these goodies at the goodwill....


They are wooden trays that are meant to grip onto your couch arm.  I just saw solid wood jewelry organizer...


I just removed those brackets from the back.  Spray painted them black.  Then added on a zebra print using the Martha Stewart pearl paint from Plaid...I love that shimmer!


I actually took the zebra print lamp and roughly copied the zebra print on it.  It took two coats of the Martha Stewart paint to get it to look like this...


Zebra print is extremely forgiving to paint.  Trust me...no one will see your mess ups.  Don't be scared.  Jump on in and paint on some zebra stripes.


I picked up a set of hooks at the dollar tree for $1 and spray painted them in silver. 


Then just screw them into the wood...


A couple of saw tooth hangers on the back of each one and you are ready to hang...


The frame for earrings above it I made almost two years ago...


I think these pieces will transition well to the college dorm.  Plus now her jewelry is all organized and where she can see it!  Come back tomorrow and I will talk about a few more teen room details.

Vanessa

It's a fantastic idea because it's pretty, yet useful. My 14 year old would love this. I think I'll get her to help me do it.

I love the pink zebra! It's so unexpected that it's perfect!

I love girly girl things and I love pink zebra. Looks great!
