before AND AFTER: BACKSPLASH SHELF

I got this shelf at a thrift store for a ridiculous cheap price and I looooove it. It has been used in so many different places in the different places I've lived but it is now in my room. I decided to paint the back part of the shelf to add a little splash of color. It was so easy and quick and I really like how it turned out.
The shelf before the paint job.
I got this paint for $1 at a Habitat for Humanity store here in Nashville. It's the greatest place ever. They have all kinds of paint in small amounts and large amounts for super cheap. 
I didn't tape off the section, I was just really careful! Also, this paint color is more like a teal color, it just looked way lighter before it had dried.
Dried paint and back in my room!

We received so many things from Martha Stewart Jewelry to create some pieces of our own. There were so many options but I really loved all the rhinestones so I decided to make something using those. Everything was so easy to use and so cute! I'm looking forward to playing around with the rhinestones more.

Glue your rhinestones into the rhinestone settings.

I'm using the settings that have loops on both sides.

Connect all the settings with jump rings.

Now there is a chain of 4 rhinestones.

Measure around your wrist and subtract the length of the rhinestones. Whatever is left is how long you should cut the chain. Cut three strips of chain. You will connect them all with a jump ring to the strand of rhinestones.

From left to right there should be a jump ring, then the rhinestone strand, then another jump ring, the three strands of chain, another jump ring connected to a lobster claw.

And you are done!

The chain hangs down a little bit on the back side of your wrist.
