DIY Halloween Earring Holder

Now that both girls have pierced ears our earring collection has grown and Pivia our youngest really enjoys cordinating her outfits with her earrings and since our current storage is just pull our tuperware drawers I wanted a better way to display and store them.

I searched Pinterest and found many different ideas and the one I like best for storing our Holiday earrings used a material from Darice called Plastic Canvas, I found it at Micheals.

 I started out with yep you guessed it $1 store 4X6 picture frames.

I choose a simple black design but you can go with any design or size just make sure your earring material will fit inside.

I used some wire cutters to grab the prongs and wiggle them out.

Discard or reuse the other materials.

 I left this is because I thought it would be fun and cool to use this but let me tell you it was supper hard to glue down and messy and very loose.

I am glad I choose to purchase 6 frames in my trip to the $1 store.

 You want to measure the inside of the frame, I mean from ledge to ledge.

Mine was 5 3/4 wide by 7 3/4 long.

Hot glue around the edge and place inside.

I did this in sections and waited tell cooled and dry between sections.

 Here is a close up to show edge to edge.

Its not pretty but it works and this is the back any ways.

As long as it is secure it will be fine.

 Here it is all done.

There are different sizes of the Plastic Canvas but I choose this one for the holes.

It says 7 on the tag with the price sticker.

 Here are the earrings front the front.

And here is the back with the backings attatched.

 Here is the front with the hang on earings.

 Here is the back.

 I saw these at Hobby Lobby and had to pick up a package, new this year.

A better photo.

 I decided to embosse the wooden pieces but you could easily paint, use marker, or color them with ink or leave plain.

 Useing a lid to a box makes it easier to not burn myself while embossing the wooden pieces.

 I also embossed a sheet of white card stock in yellow to add the holes in the wooden pieces.

 Tombow Mono Liquid Glue to attach.

Here is the finished project.

 Close up, I love how the yellow makes the wooden pieces pop.
