Yes. Necklaces grow on trees. Or at least they hang on them.
I am always on the lookout for stands for my shows. Current obsession has been a stand that I can hang my masses of pendant on a cord pieces. There are lots of them. Next show is outdoors so I want something with some weight to it, too. Lots of googling and Etsying and mixing various ideas resulted in the above tree prototype. The prototype is made from 1/4″ ish inch trashed plywood backing to a broken mirror. I scroll sawed the shape. Next one will be from less ugly plywood.
These are the rough shapes. Next ones will have changes made. These would pack flat for a show which is AWESOME. You just slot the two parts together and away you go.

Wow, you have so many talents. What a great idea!
Very good idea. I love displays that store flat and are easy to assemble. And this one looks nice too. I wonder if it’s a good idea to make it out of scrap polymer clay if I’m not that handy with wood. Thanks.
Thanks guys! This one needs a bit of sanding and painting yet but the idea is sound.
Cool Elaine! Bet they would look fab covered in polymer clay!
I actually thought about doing it in card and clay instead but to get a strong layer that would resist cracking, I’d need a good pound to cover the whole structure! And even a pound of scrap clay is more valuable than that here.
I’ve made lots of other displays out of clay though!
