I told you last night that the creative juices where flowing! I made an earring holder! I have seen these all over and I LOVE them! I have been wanting to make one forever! So today I did!
Of course, I forgot to take pictures of the before. Just think an blood red with gold accent. It was UGLY! I made it from a frame that I got for free and wire mesh that we inherited when we bought the house. I spray painted it white. Then I saw a trick where you water down brown craft paint and it looks like stain. So I decide to try it! I wiped it on and let it sit for a min then wipe it off just like stain.
It is far from perfect, but it was my first try. After what seemed like forever of painting and drying, I was ready to attach the mesh. Oh how I wish I had a staple gun, but I don't (it is on my birthday list). So I hot glued in the mesh, which was a pain! I then put my earrings on and I was done! I loved how it turned out. It is not prefect, but I love it!

The last two pictures are of the beautiful detail this frame has!
I LOVE it!

It looks amazing! I am in desperate need of something like that! My jewelry is such a mess right now:) Glad you came over to play today Melissa! I love your ideas!
I love the frame! and so cute. You did and amazing job. And it makes to earrings look so awesome as well.
Great job! I can't do pierced ears, but this is a great storage (and decorative) solution to earring storage :)

Keeping It Simple
Oh my gosh, I have soooooo many earrings getting all clumped up together in a jewelry box, and a bunch of old frames. All I need is the mesh! Thanks for posting this in Talented Tuesday so I could find it!
I may need one now, your turned out great. Do you happen to know if a magnet will stick to the mesh?

Melissa, I really appreciate you checking for me!
I've got an idea brewing and it helps to know these things ;0)
Thanks again,

It's so great! I've been trying to figure out how to do something just like that! Thanks for sharing.
