Spinster's Emporium Earring Storage/Display

Pretty crafty storage for earrings!

Use an old frame and a few treasures from your sewing box to make pretty storage to display your earrings. It's a great way to stop your earrings getting tangled and can be used to display brooches too! Super quick and simple. N.B: I realised as I was making this that it would be easier to attach the lace first so the photos may seem a bit back to front.

Description

Use an old frame and a few treasures from your sewing box to make pretty storage to display your earrings. It's a great way to stop your earrings getting tangled and can be used to display brooches too! Super quick and simple. N.B: I realised as I was making this that it would be easier to attach the lace first so the photos may seem a bit back to front.

Instructions

  1. Small 104359 2f2014 09 15 150636 spinsters%2bearring%2bframe%2b01

    Collect together your materials! I find this is a great project for using those odd bits and pieces, and extra special buttons.

  2. Small 104359 2f2014 09 15 152443 spinsters%2bearring%2bframe%2b02

    Cut a piece of lace material (I have used an old net curtain) the same size as your frame.

  3. Small 104359 2f2014 09 15 152454 spinsters%2bearring%2bframe%2b03

    Using a staple gun, fold over the edges of the fabric and attach to the back of the frame. Pull the fabric taught as you go round. I found it easier to start with opposite sides and finish with the corners.

  4. Small 104359 2f2014 09 15 152510 spinsters%2bearring%2bframe%2b04

    Arrange your buttons, trims and buckles until you are happy with the layout. I have threaded ribbon through some vintage buckles which gives a nice effect.

  5. Small 104359 2f2014 09 15 152523 spinsters%2bearring%2bframe%2b05

    For an extra touch of colour tie embroidery thread through the button holes of any larger buttons. Cut the threads short so the ends cannot be seen from the front.

  6. Small 104359 2f2014 09 15 152536 spinsters%2bearring%2bframe%2b06

    Stick all the pieces down using a hot glue gun. Wrap the raw edges of the ribbon round the frame and secure at the back.
