Jewelry Making / Beading Station DIY

Materials Needed

1 Piece of foamboard

1 square of felt

Stick pins

Glue

Wire dish rack from dollar tree

Small storage boxes dollar tree

Materials for decorating ( I used washi tape and ribbon from dollar tree)

Cut foam board into the following pieces

     12 X 11  inches

 12 X ½ inches  (2 of these)

 12.5 X 3 inches  (2 of these) Sides

12 X 3 inches  (2 of these) Top & Bottom

Glue the square of felt onto the bottom portion of the 12 X 11 piece of foamboard

Use the 12 X ½  inch piece of foamboard as a guide with the 12 X 3  pieces of foamboard, to place top and bottom sides of the station.

Use stick pins to attach the two pieces of foamboard together.

Once in place separate enough to add glue  and then seal back in place.

To attach the sides  run glue along all the edges then place the 12.5 X 3 pieces of foamboard aligning them so that they are even  with the top and bottom pieces already in place.

There will be some over hang on one end so that you get a good fit 

once  everything is in place trim this off. 

Place the  12 X ½ inch piece at the top edge of the felt glue in place and add stick pins in sides and along top to secure into place. These will stick out of the bottom . You will use wire cutters to snip them off when finished.

Use the other 12 X ½ piece to cut into 2 inch sections to make the dividers. Glue in place and again use stick pins to secure in place on the sides 

Underneath run glue along all the edges to reinforce and seal any cracks

You can also do this in the small sections on the front .

Decorate to your preference I used what I had  Washi tape and ribbon.

Since washi tape likes to lift up I glued it down to the top edges to give it a nice finished look.

 

For the sides I pinned the ribbon into place  at each of the corners and glued them down into place as I went around. Using clamps to hold as it dried. Let dry over night.

I picked up this wire dish rack from the dollar tree as well as these 5 small plastic containers.

Place rack on its side great way to have your tools handy and use containers for 

the projects your working on or to store your favorite beads or findings.

Put it all together and your done and it wouldn’t be complete without my magnifying light.

Enjoy your Jewelry Making /Beading Station!!!
