The other day I was trying to sort through all of my earrings. When I finished finding the different pairs and deciding which ones I'd actually like to keep, I had nowhere to put them other than in a ziplock bag. I decided right then and there that I was going to make something to organize my earrings. I've had plenty of jewelry boxes in my day, but my earrings still didn't seem that organized in them. I had seen some framed jewelry holders floating around the internet. This one was my inspiration. I loved the look of the lace.
I kept my eye out for an oval frame....but I couldn't find any that were a very good price. I headed to DI and found a long and skinny frame that I thought would work and it was only $3 (I actually ended up liking better than the oval frame look). I had purchased some lace at Hobby Lobby. The lace was 50% off so the two rolls cost me a total of $2.50. I have lots of lace left over and look forward to using it for some other projects. I just love lace! Next I got some Ivory spray paint at Walmart for $3.50. So that brings my total cost to $9, but I have plenty of lace and spray paint left over that I'll be able to use for other projects.
This is what the frame looked like to begin with.
I spray painted the frame and then antiqued it a bit.
I hung it up on the wall and hung my earrings and it was done. Such an easy, quick craft!
Awesome! I love it. And I actually like yours better than the oval one too! Good job!

I have tons of hand-made earrings and this idea was perfect for me. I found an $8 frame and inexpensive ribbon at Michaels and used a staple gun to staple the ribbon to the frame. I love the way it turned out! Thanks so much for the idea. Now I need to make one for my many, many hand-made necklaces. :-)
ReplyDeleteI must make one, love the idea.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, a new project soon. X
