An Accessory Tree {Tutorial} & Retail Display

Hello all you incredible Fans out there!! I have an accessory tree tutorial to share!! I did this as a guest blogger over at Sowdering About and wanted to share it with you!

As you all know I make headbands and necklaces for little girls and recently, I finally found my first retail location. I was so excited I grabbed 20 headbands and 2 headband holders and went down there! Well, the headband holders just did not work for the space they had offered me and not only that, it was really difficult to get the headbands on and off without picking up the holder out of the display space, I was so bummed! 

I got home defeated but then I thought about how stores usually sell headbands, on a peg system, but mine had to be free standing, so I had a vision in my head and got to work. Originally I had wanted to just upcycle a mug tree, but I scoured all the thrift stores in my area for 2 weeks before realizing I would have to make it from scratch. I made a list and started checking it off.

Supplies:

• 2" diameter wood Dowel
• 7/8" diameter wood dowel
• small wood plaque 
• Spray paint
• Course sand paper
• Fine sand paper
• Gorilla wood Glue
• E6000 glue
• decorative drawer knob (optional)

Tools: 

• Table saw or circular saw
• Drill
• 7/8" drill bit
