If you're anything like me, I still have the jewelry box I was given as a little girl, so the jewelry (especially earings) pretty much look like this:
It's pretty much a pain to find anything in it, let alone earring matches. So for the longest time I've been frustrated with it and wanting a way to keep things more organized.
What you will need to achieve one like mine:
Picture Frames
Cross Stitch Fabric
A Hot Glue Gun
Wire
Needle Nose Pliers or Jewelry Pliers
Pushpins
I was lucky I had some cheap Dollar Tree picture frames already, so I just took the glass and wood backs out and hot glued the Cross Stitch Fabric to the back. That made it perfectly framed.
This is the back.
This is what the front looks like.
Then I twisted the wire into little twirly hooks and threaded it through the fabric. I like Lacey's better, but my frames weren't wood (they were plastic) so I could screw little hooks on it. I use these hooks to hang my hoop earrings on.
Next, I sorted out all of my earrings and made sure they matched up. If they didn't have a match, I threw them back in the drawer. I have this idea in my head about using the ones that are missing their match in some other project, because they're still so pretty!
Fancy! I like it. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love that idea!
ReplyDeleteWay cute! With my miss matched earrings I usually just wear a stud in one ear and a dangley fancy one in the other. Works well with low hanging side pony tails. Kinda crazy but that's how I roll. I love this idea though.
ReplyDeleteCuute stuff mhmm :)

Totally cute!
ReplyDeleteIt does look really nice on the wall. Sometimes even simplest of things can be so beautiful. This is an example.
ReplyDeleteI like it when you said, "I have this idea in my head about using the ones that are missing their match in some other project, because they're still so pretty!" Some things are really precious, invaluable and indispensable, and perhaps have a lot of sentiments attached with them. Cheers!
What a great idea for the earrings! I have all my necklaces hanging from cup hooks on my wall but my earrings are still a jumbled mess. I found a new project thanks to you!
ReplyDeleteGreat craft. I need to make one of those. I have two jewlery boxes of a mangled tangled mish-mash.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing. My jewelry box looks just like that! Have a great day afternoon!
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea. So if you want to manage your jewelries, then you should consider a wall jewelry organizer like the one in the picture above. Thanks for sharing.
