DIY Earring Holder

This is another jewelry holder project. it's an easy and cute way to hang your earrings! The few items you need to make this are:
  • A frame ( any will do, you can get cheap ones at the dollar store. If you have a lotta earrings-you need a big picture frame )
  • hot glue gun(optional)
  • staple gun
  • mesh like material or other thin material
  • any embellishments you want(optional)
  • optionally, clothespins to hold the fabric onto the frame while stapling.
First you're gonna take your frame, take off the back and glass-you don't need this,and material. Pin the fabric all the way around the edge with clothespins. Get your staple gun and staple all the way around close to each other pulling the fabric tight. Once you are done, you can stop here or keep going.

If you want to embellish, plug the hot glue gun in and glue on whatever you'd like. I did a big flower with fake pearls inside and stones around the frame.



This is the back of one of mine.


When you are done, simply poke the earrings through and put the stud on in the back. Either hang this or just lean it on a desk or vanity.
