DIY URBAN OUTFITTERS COPYCAT JEWELRY STAND

   

This weekends thrift store trip was a total success as I picked this stand for 75 cents! At first I thought score I finally found a jewelry stand to display some of my necklaces and bracelets,simple but it'll do. Then I thought hold up forget simple! I knew it had potential to be much more! So I looked around and Urban Outfitters inspired me to create my fancy little jewelry stand. Below is a picture of the Urban outfitters stand that motivated me. Let me point out that the price for the UO stand is $39.00 while mine only cost me 2 bucks. I dont know about you but I'm thinking heck yea lets DIY!!

                                                Plum and Bow Printed Dish Jewelry Stand

Supplies I used were; Thrifted decorative souvenir plate, thrifted stand, and Loctite Super Glue Gel Control.

This DIY is very straightforward. All I did was super glue the stand to the top of the decorative plate. Can't get any easier!  

I am beyond pleased with how my jewelry stand turned out. Gotta love thrift store shopping!

My family and I are huge fans of PBS Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and all that it has to offer. Our daughter Serenity has watched every episode and memorized most of the songs. She ultimately asks to replay this show about 20 times a day and runs around singing the potty song nonstop, its hilarious! In our home we strictly limit the amount of television Serenity can watch. So whenever she is allowed to spend some TV time Daniel Tiger is usually one of her top picks. Daniel Tiger has worked wonders on our little one, breaking down essential life lessons that us parents try to teach and reinforce on a daily basis. We are very excited for Neighbor Day, it will be a fun day filled with songs,important lessons and activities! If your trying to teach your children that its nice to do good things for others,what a better way to reinforce this important life lesson than this Labor Day Monday with Daniel Tiger and friends. You can find fun activities to go along with the new episode here.
