After some contemplation and serious inspiration from my commenters, I have finally concluded what to do with my Jewelry Arm"wall". I didn't want this to be a pricey deal because my mission is to be crafty with whatcha' got.
Which in turn means thrifty!

I do NOT have any extra money laying around to spend frugally. I have made everything so far out of items I found in my mothers stash or at work (with permission). I am fully aware I have a spending problem and would shop till the moment I had a heart attack and died. So this blog and my crafts are a sort of theraputic grief counceling of sorts for me. I have turned all my finances over to a family member in hopes of somehow getting out of the rut that is my debt.
Well enough whining I wanna see this Jewelry thingy!
I found a cute idea on a blog to make a sweet design out of cut toilet paper rolls. Well I just made flowers with them. Plus I have an un-godly amount of buttons right now from my bracelet making, so I used those as the center of the flowers.
This is going to be kind of long because I'm not sure how to make another page with a tutorial on it so I am just adding it here.
Lay your toilet paper roll out and flatten it.
Mark the width you like.
CUT & Glue!
I used a pipe cleaner to attach the buttons then I placed them on the flower with a twist.
Here they all are.
I added this sign with a piece of broken picture frame and scrapbook paper. Then burnt the edges and Mod Podged it.
I could do more to it but I kind of like the simplicity of it. Plus I don't want to take away from the flowers. What do you think?

The good thing about not having money is you have to use your imagination...that is called being crafty. When you have money,you dont think about how or with what you can do something. I know from past experience.
