Earring Holder


Jeff made me this earring holder to organize the mounds of earrings that were tucked away in a bathroom drawer.
 
Materials needed:
Barnwood frame (any frame will work)
Aluminum Metal Sheet 4'x8' sheet at Lowe's used for concrete (chicken wire will work)
Wire clippers
Paint color of choice (optional)
Clear caulking or staples
 
Put the frame face down and measure the height and width of the inside (where the glass would go).
 
Next, paint the frame unless you want it as it is.
 
While the paint is drying, use the wire clippers to cut down the metal to fit the inside of the frame.
 
Once the paint is dry, put the frame face down.
 
Put the clear caulking on the inside of the frame (where the glass goes) and set the metal into place. Once the metal is in place add another layer on top of the metal all the way around the inside. You will then need to find something heavy to set on each corner of the metal and let the caulking dry.
 
If you prefer to use staples, you will just use a staple gun to staple the metal to the frame (a few inches appart all the way around).
 
I would recommend letting it dry overnight.
 
Now you have a cute but efficient earring holder.
