necklace tree project

i had so many necklaces laying around getting tangled, and decided to get organized by making a necklace tree. this project is great because its functional art. 

ingredients: 

*vase

*florist foam

*rocks

*branches 

- if you find a giant vase like this one, then weighing down the base is the key to keeping your project from tipping over.  layer the rocks in the bottom third of the vase, then use the florists foam and stuff the ends of the branches into the foam in the arrangement you prefer.  top the florist foam with pebbles, add your necklaces and you should be good to go. 

-i recommend save-on-crafts.com for cheap supplies for projects like this.  you should be able to put this together for around $20 or less. 

next week i will start a series of posts on my first quilt!
