Standing Jewelry Holder

Attach a 1x1 dowel upright to one of its 1x3 laminate strips with glue and 1-1/4" brad nails. Glue and clamp the second 1x3 strip to the other side of the upright, then angle-nail from the 1x3 into the dowel for extra hold. Let each upright dry fully before moving on — build all three this way.

Attach the side rails to the uprights to form the tray, using glue and 1-1/4" nails. Attach the top dowel rail across the top of the uprights with 1-1/4" nails and wood glue.

Attach the plywood base with even overhangs on all sides, using 3/4" brad nails and wood glue.

Attach the small leg blocks with 1-1/4" brad nails and wood glue, lining them up with the sides of the jewelry tray above — not the edges of the plywood base, which overhangs on purpose.

Sand any rough edges and finish as desired. Hot glue works well for attaching any small decorative trim details.
