Some ornaments are too lovely to spend 11 months in a box. Look around your home for creative ways to prolong your enjoyment.

Jewelry Frame

A jewelry frame is great because

• It's functional as well as decorative.

• It allows you to view all jewelry at once and quickly make your selection. 

• It helps you identify and weed out the jewelry you no longer use or like.

The 6 easy steps to make one of your own
1) Remove the glass from the frame you choose.
2) Cut a piece of heavy cardboard to fit the frame.
3) Cover the board with your choice of fabric. I used duct tape to attach a scrap of black velvet to the cardboard.
4) Fit the board into the frame. You may need to add more cardboard backing to get a tight fit. Secure backing to the frame with duct tape (greatest invention ever).
5) Measure and cut a piece of wrapping paper to cover the back.  I used household glue to attach this to the back.
6) Attach hardware and hang the frame. Hang jewelry with straight pins or thumbtacks.

Closet Creation: Fewer Clothes, More Attitude

I decided to go ahead and clear out the clothes that did not fit into one of the four seasonal sets. If this seems too drastic, you may wish to move the extra clothes to another closet or storage space. Once you live through the different seasons and try the ensembles, it should be easier for you to determine which clothes you no longer need.

Once I cleared things out, I got inspired to give my closet a new look.
