DIY: Earring Holder

In fashion boutiques and all over Pinterest, I've been seeing these mesh-wire earring/jewerly holders, so I decided to create my own! I'm pretty proud with how it turned out! 

Here's how to make your own.

Supplies:

Any size Picture Frame (plain or decorated)

*I got mine at Hobby Lobby*
1/4 inch Mesh-Wire
*to be purchased at any hardware store*
Wire Cutters

ModPodge

Plain Scrapbook Paper
Paintbrush

Step One:

Remove the glass and backboard of the picture frame.

Step Two:

Cut the mesh-wire to the size of your frame using the wire cutters (scissors will also work if you are using the 1/4 inch mesh-wire, which I highly recommend since earrings are small!)

Step Three:
Grab the backboard of the frame and your selected color of scrapbook paper to attach it to the backboard using a thin layer of ModPodge.

I chose brown scrapbook paper since my frame was extremely patterned. However, I think it would be cute to pick a patterned scrapbook paper if you had a plain frame to create some contrast!


Step Four:

Use your dry backboard and attach it back to the frame. The backboard will keep the mesh-wire in place.

And you're done!

What do you think? I would love to create a large scale one for my closet someday!

DIY: Jewerly Organization

I had a slight incident this weekend when I was trying to get ready. I attempted to get a necklace out of this tangled mess in a heap I keep in my top drawer when I realized that my jewelry organization was kind of a joke. 

Something had to be done! 

So, as any do-it-yourself type of person I was determined to find a cool, pretty way to organize my jewelry and I figured it out! On a trip to Hobby Lobby I discovered these beautiful blue boards with knobs on them. 

I placed them in my closet and hung my jewelry on them. 

Viola! Intense jewelry organization!

Now, all of my large necklaces are on display and easy to access!
