A place for my jewelry

Last week, over at the Your Memories Here blog, I shared this jewelry tray I created using Glimmer Mist, Mod Podge and some pretty papers. The papers and embellishments I used came from the Pink Ninja Addicts kit "Love Fool".  I have been hoarding my Addict kits, which is why you haven't seen any creations from me with them! I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to supplies and kits that I am in love with. This was no exception. 

Believe it or not, this tray originally held a block puzzle of my nephews. I'm not sure what happened to all of the puzzle pieces, but they are gone. So I was left with this little tray floating around in the kids toys in our basement area. 

I thought it would be nice to do something with it, so, I created this tray for my jewelry. I don't have a jewelry box, but don't really have a ton of jewelry, nor is there enough room on my dresser for one, so having a tray like this is perfect! 

I first sanded down the tray and then primed it with white gesso. I used three coats of the gesso. After it had dried, I sprayed my glimmer mist in several blue hues all over it. I used my heat gun to dry. I applied my patterned paper in the center/bottom of the tray as well as around the tray on the outside as you can see in the photo below. 

I added the butterfly embellishments as an afterthought. I just thought they looked cute! I adhered and sealed everything with Mod Podge. I used two coats of the Mod Podge. Once everything was sealed, I applied a coat of Glimmer Glaze for some sparkle. It looks fabulous! 

Below are some shots with some jewelry in it!
