How to: Mardi Gras Bead Boot Rest

Back in March, Mike and I went to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in downtown Memphis, and I came home with a slightly absurd number of beads. Since then, they’ve been sitting in a pile in my guest room, just waiting for some inspiration.
I saw a picture of a boot rest using sheet pans and stones on Pinterest, and figured it might work just as well with beads. Considering it doesn’t snow much in Memphis, it will mostly be used for slightly damp rainboots, so the fact that there’s not much drainage shouldn’t be a big issue. I grabbed an old sheet pan from under my stove (I don’t bake much these days anyway), my glue gun, and my pile of beads, and a few hours later, this is what I ended up with!
