Dress Up Your Jewellery DIY; Tape It Up!

I got my hands on the first few samples of Scotch® Expressions Tape, and I just couldn’t wait to try them out.

As you know, I’m a minimal effort kind of DIYer, so these were a perfect fit to help get my creative juices running. I didn’t even need to worry about gluing my fingers together, so bonus!

Available at Target stores across Canada now, Scotch® Expressions Washi, Masking and Packaging Tapes come in a variety of colours – so personalizing a project to match your style and décor is simple.

For my first attempt I decided to try creating a jewellery box that hangs on my bedroom wall like a picture frame. I love, but seldom incorporate open storage in my space, mostly because you need to be extra diligent on keeping things neat when you commit to an open closet or cabinet.

But, like many woman I love accessories and wanted to show them off even when I wasn’t wearing them!

Here’s what you’ll need to create your wall-mounted jewellery display:

1
– Wood tray (can easily be found at any dollar store or Home Sense)
– Cork board
– Scissors
– Thumbtacks
– Wood Glue
– Ruler and pencil
– Scotch® Expressions Tapes

2
Step 1:
Measure the inside depth of your tray and cut strips out of your cork board to fit. I measured out a few different widths to add a bit of dimension and took the pattern of my tapes into consideration.

3
Step 2:
Wrap up the cork strips with your tape!

4
Step 3:
Glue the taped strips into the tray and let set for 20-30 minutes to ensure they’re good and stuck.

Step 4: Insert tacks.

If you’re feeling extra crafty, tape up the outer edges of your tray. Then, choose your prettiest accessories to display, wall mount and viola!

I'm Lisa, a real born and bred Torontonian in every sense of the word. I'm a PR practitioner by day with a fabulous client list, at a very cool boutique firm in the core with a view of the city that can make anyone want to move here. I have a mild to moderate hat obsession, and you’ll usually find me searching the city for the next big chef, and rarely without a fashion or décor magazine in my purse. Before PR, I was a travel writer/editor/photographer, and spent most of my time travelling the world and bringing my stories back here. The rest of the time I spent indulging in the city's untapped culinary scene as Post City Magazine's main restaurant photographer. But, no matter where I am in the world, nothing beats coming home. That's why I've spent the last few years planting my roots here, moving from Toronto’s uber-chic west side to the heart of Greek Town in a modern Victorian semi (a.ka. my lifelong décor project), with my husband and super-stylish son. Yes, I'm one of those moms, the one who won't give up her sense of style post-baby bump; and why should I?! I aspire to have my cake and eat it too - I am Italian after all. And, now why my 2-year-old in tow, I can bring him along for the ride.
