What you need:
- Ring display boxes (I happened to find these for $1 each at a jewelery store which was closing down. You can easily make your own using a cardboard box and some foam. You just need to cut it to size and then slice lines to place the rings in)
- Glue gun
- Stanley knife/box cutter
- Adhesive spray (optional)
- Fabric to cover it all with
Remove the piece of foam from inside your box.
Cut a square of fabric big enough to cover the section of foam. We will work on this piece first. The fabric I used is stiff black chiffon with tiny diamantes all over it. I thought about using pink and green to represent a garden for my flower pins to grow in but decided that this would fit more with the look I’m trying to achieve in my bathroom.
If you have adhesive spray use it to hold the the fabric flat on the front of the foam. This will make sure it’s all tight and possibly prevent fraying when we eventually cut it (depending on the type of fabric you have chosen).
Using your glue gun glue the fabric in place on the sides So the front section is nice and tight.
Now let’s do the box. Cut a strip of fabric long enough to go around the outside of the box. It will need to be wide enough to cover the outside as well as wrapping around to the inside surface and the back.
Use your glue gun to put a spot on each corner of the outside and wrap around the fabric. Fold the extra over onto the back of the box and glue it in place.
You should have something like this:
Fold the left over into the box and glue in place.
Now take the covered piece of felt and glue it into the box.
Take your stanley knife and cut through the fabric where the pre-cut lines in the foam are.
This is mine looked like after I cut it… If you had used adhesive spray yours would look neater:
Now it’s time to put in all your hair pins and rings in!
Taadaa…
I stacked by boxes in my bathroom so they took up less space while displaying everything really nicely.
Hurrah new cute display boxes that let me see every thing and make it much easier to grab things quickly in the morning.
What do you think? |
That looks super cute! I never thought of storing my hair accessories like that. :)

Super cute! I have been looking for tutorials on something like this! I love the way it looks with all those rose rings and hair clips sticking out. Like a pretty garden.

Haha you’ll have to start collecting hair accessories!
From a woman short on storage, I can honestly say I always enjoy your storage ideas:)
I hear you! I am always in search for storage ideas, and when I find some and make them, suddenly I just have more stuff to storage… I don’t think it ever ends….
Haha it’s a vicious cycle XD
:D I’m really glad to help!
This is genius!!
Reminds me of those ring displays I see at markets and shops~ :D
I love your tutorials Violet!!
I’m so glad you like it Melissy!
:) cute and quick :)
:D
Lovely!
I’m awful at storage for my jewellery, but I’ve had an idea in mind for a while of converting a small drawer in my dressing table into a split level cushion-y surprise for storing pins and earrings etc. I just wish I could find my camera (lost it when dear Love moved his stuff in – grrr!), so I could show off my little projects! Drat!
xx

Oh that’s such a great idea Miz! I can’t wait to see pictures when you find your camera :D
How do you think of all of these lovely things?! All I need is foam and I will be making a project out of this on a rainy day. :)

Haha necessity is the mother of invention :D I just look at what I’m doing and see how I could improve it in a cute way :D
So clever!! And you have the prettiest hair pieces. I love all of the roses! I especially love the GIANT fluffy pink bow! <3
I love that bow too! I hardly ever wear it for some reason though >_< I'll have to make some more! Thanks so much Charlene!
They are so cute! I use wooden tea boxes. At christmas time they have lots of them as gift packs and they can cost a bit, but on the day after christmas they have them marked down, i picked a few up for $7 each! My only problem is i’m not totally happy with just stacking them… i need to come up with a way to store them and see the contents at the same time.
Oh that’s a great idea! I stack these ones with the rings facing outwards that way I can see everything ^_^
