Faux Vintage DIY Jewelry Display

Hair & Accessories· Home Decor· Paper Mache

Vintage DIY Jewelry DisplayCiao!  I’m back again with another faux “old” project.  I truly love vintage decor, and it’s so exciting to be able to create my own “antiques.”  I adore the dress form trend, so I was thrilled to find a huge 17 inch paper mache mannequin form at Consumer Crafts.  There are so many ways you can dress it up, and I decided to make mine look like a sculpture.  Do you love it?  It’s not hard to make!

Vintage DIY Jewelry Display 2

Supplies needed to make your own vintage DIY jewelry display:

  • Paper Mache Display Mannequin
  • Wood Candlestick
  • Wood Circle Cut Out
  • Round Wood Plaque
  • Paint:  white, black and venetian gold
  • Glaze: DecoArt’s Renaissance Brown
  • DecoArt’s Texture Crackle or Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint
  • E-6000 Adhesive
  • Krylon Clear Glaze Spray

Faux Sculpture TutorialStep one:  Paint the mannequin white.

Step two:  Spread the texture paste on the form.  It will crackle as it dries.

Step three:  Paint over the crackle texture with the gold paint.

Step four:  When it’s dry, brush the glaze over the paint.  Work in sections and try to get the glaze in the cracks.  Use a dry cloth to wipe off the glaze.  This technique deepens the gold color and highlights the crackle finish.

Step five:  Paint the wood pieces black and glue together to form the stand.

Step six:  Glue the mannequin to the base.  I decided to finish off my completed project with Krylon’s clear glaze spray, because I have lots of tiny hands in my house that will try to manhandle my display stand.

Vintage DIY Jewelry Display 3I thought I would use this project as a jewelry holder, but it looks so nice that I’m using it as home decor.  It makes a striking accent piece, and who knows, when I’m ready to redecorate I might finally use it to hold my necklaces!

    At first sight I thought it would be made of a Barbie doll’s paper mache shilouette, but no!
    Whatever, I’ve done it that way. Plus one step , but consumercrafts do not ship their stuff to my country!
    Anyways, love the idea!! 🙂
