DIY Divali Glam Storage

Divali is a couple days away and to those of us who aren't frequenting the Indian Trade fairs, Nagars and Ramayans, it's time to dust off the sparkly bangles. What a pity that they spent all year hidden deep under your stash of more regularly worn stuff! Indian jewellery is so beautiful on it's own, often not needing a wearer to prove its gorgeousness.

 When my friend, Praveen got married, she served indian sweets in small jewel toned fabric bags with gold ribbons. Like a klepto, I grabbed more than my share, and saved the bags to keep my bangles in! I keep them out on my dresser like a display!


So several weeks ago a couple of my best girlfriends came over to my humble home for good food and girl talk. They brought me a beautiful bottle of Raspberry wine- literally, the bottle was beautiful! Reminded me of I dream of Genie! I've held on to the empty bottle like a hoarder, and today when I was on the verge of dumping it, Eureka! Bangle stacker! I sprayed it with glue and drizzled glitter all over it! Now look who's going to save all her bottles. (This works best with a bottle with a slim long neck and wider base)
