DIY Jewellery stand

Instructions

1. Cut 2 circles of wood, the bottom bigger than the top.

2. Using a router remove the middle section of both wood circles to make a lip. This will stop the jewellery from falling off.

3. I used a chair spindle for the poles. You can use a doweling rod if you don't have suitable wood.

4. To smooth out the bottom and the sides I used my orbital sander. For the smaller one, I used a sanding wheel because my sander would not fit into the hole.

5. I used some cardboard to cut a template for the felt that would line the bottom. I stained and varnished the pieces.

6. I found the centre of my circles and drilled a hole slightly smaller than the nut that fits on the bottom of the pole. I mixed up some epoxy resin and filled the hole then very gently tapped the nut into the hole with a hammer.

7. I used my cardboard template to cut my felt and glued it down to the base. The bottom of the pole screwed into the nut. For the top, I drilled a hole in the centre for the screw to come through and cut away some of the felt so I could glue the top down. The top pole was just a piece that I cut off the pole.

8. I found the right sized screw and cut off its head. I drilled a pilot hole in the top of the post for the screw and used it to attach the pole to the glass doorknob. I added some curtain hooks to the top and my stand was complete.
