Display rack.


Here is a tiny rack that I made to add some height to the shop counter.  I used coffee stirrers (Yeah - I drink quite a lot of coffee!) that I cut to three lengths and glued to a piece of card along the bottom.  Then I flipped it over and glued two strips of 'leather' (actually inked up card) diagonally on the back. Finally, I glued the base card to two more lengths of coffee stirrer and added another along the front, just above half way up, to reinforce the structure.  I wanted to add a little shelf at that level but it would have overbalanced the unit so I left it as you see.

The jewellery is from an old costume necklace of mine that I have butchered for parts over the years. The two little silver bottles are beads and the tiny crown and eiffel tower are jewellery findings from a haberdashery market.
