Bracelet Holder Crafts
A handmade bracelet holder gives you the opportunity to display all of your bracelets at the same time and it also gives you a convenient place to store them. The materials you need to make a bracelet display are very easy to get, and cost little to no money to make depending on what kind of items you already have around your home.

Bamboo
-
Bamboo stalks can create a jewelry holder with a simple yet sophisticated look. Cut a piece of dry bamboo to 1-foot in length. You can seal the bamboo with clear spray-on lacquer, or opt to leave the bamboo unsealed. You can either purchase hooks at a hardware store to place at either end of the bamboo piece or you can simply nail two nails into the wall where you wish to display the bracelet holder. Slide bracelets onto the piece of the bamboo and suspend the bamboo horizontally from the nails or hooks.
Hooks Display
-
You can mount a row of hooks to a decorative board to create a bracelet holder. Search a hardware store or an import store for ornate or unusual looking hooks. Depending on their size and how large you desire to make your jewelry rack, shop for between three and six hooks. While you are at the hardware store, check the scrap wood section for a length of wood that is either 1 inch by 2 inches, or 2 inches by four inches. Look for a piece of wood that is approximately 1 foot in length. Stain or paint the wood in the color of your choice, then mount the hooks to the board spaced two or more inches from each other. You can attach hardware to the back side of either end of the wooden display board or simply screw or nail the wood directly into your wall.

Paper Towel Roll
-
Cover an empty paper towel roll in contact paper and trim off the excess edges from the ends of the roll. Use the same paper to cover a 4 inch long block of 2 inch by 4 inch wood. Use hot glue to attach the roll to the block of wood and slide bracelets onto either end of the roll. You can then set the bracelet rack on your dress or on a table top. A variation of this project is to mount the tube vertically on the wooden block.
Stick Rack
-
A variation of the bamboo rack is to use a stick to display your bracelets. Find a stick that is the length you desire; one foot works well. Try to find a length of stick that is free or relatively free of branches. Hammer two nails into the wall, and attach a loop of either ribbon or twine to the nails. Slide the bracelets onto the stick and hang it horizontally on the wall by placing each end in the twine or ribbon loop.
