DIY Friday - Lez Get Crafty!

My earrings have been all in a tangle, and I needed a way to organize them - so why not make my own earring holder?!

I used part of a bag from oranges (
reduce, REUSE, recycle, right?), a picture frame (very old and unsightly, but it got the job done), a hot glue gun, and scissors.

My creation

1. Stretch the mesh plastic to fit the inside of the frame.
2. Hot glue into place.
3. Trim the edge of the mesh.
4. Hook earrings on like so!
5. I just covered a piece of cardboard with newspaper clippings and drew a star.
6. Note along left side - I will have the FLDS scandal forever live in my earring organizer. Oh, yes.

Hope your Friday's grand!

  10. Great idea! And I'm glad I found this because just today I was thinking about how I need to figure out an earring storage system that's better than a Ziploc bag! LOL
