O.K., so it was Sunday afternoon and I was on a mission. After fumbling through my jewelry drawer that morning getting ready for church - runnin' late as usual - I decided something jus' had to be done with my PITIFUL excuse for a jewelry drawer. So - here's what I decided to do so I could find earrings that matched!!
We've all seen cute takes on earring holders, earring trees, - but here is my earring screen.
I had these old sliding screen inserts from old windows...
Here are some scrap pieces of material I had...
I painted a couple of the frames to match the material. I left one distressed white - for me - to match my distressed self - haha. Simply use a staple gun to attach the material in back folding down the raw edges.
O.k. I know it's terribly sad looking - but this is jus' a lil' peek into the tangled mess.
And here it is - hung up with my necklaces in my "junk room" which is better described as my "crafting, ironing, getting ready, dump all the laundry in" room.
Yes, I know, I like big earrings.
I think this one is my favorite. It looks like a lil' piece of art. I added some ribbon and this one is going to the shop.
Jus' a lil' something fun that I thought I'd share with you today.
Have a wonderful day!
Blessings,
Cathy

What a fabulous idea!!!! Love these! Love your photo on the blog header too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea!! My drawer definitely needs one of these screens. You are amazing! An old screen, some fabric and ribbon, and all of a sudden you have the perfect solution. Thanks for sharing that idea.
ReplyDeleteI have soooo many old wooden screens from the original windows from our home up in our attic. For years now I have been wondering what I could do with them. I really like the last screen you showed with the black material behind it. Just for art on the wall. I think I will have to give it a try with my screens!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea!
