DIY – CUTE Shabby Chic, lace earring holder
OK, you guys know that I love picking things up from thrift stores, garage sales, hand me downs, etc… This is such a great way to save money, to get creative & to have a lot of fun!
I enjoy making so many different things. I learned about a year ago to make faux leather earrings with my Silhouette Cameo. WOW! What a game changer! It saved me some money by making my own, and also made me money by selling them at the same time! When my coworkers saw mine, they of course wanted me to make some to sell. Well, when you have that many earrings, you definitely need something cute to hold them… am I right?
I chose an old picture frame that I picked up at a thrift shop several years ago. I spray painted it white, and used some sand paper to rough it up a little bit. I used some lace that I purchased at Joanne’s Fabric, it was a bag that had about 6-8 different styles of lace. I stapled the lace to one side of the back of the frame, and just pulled it across the back tightly, then stapled it to the other side of the back of the frame. I did this several times, so that I could have several different rows of lace to hang my earrings from.
Be creative, and don’t be afraid to try new things! I had not seen this done before, but in my mind I knew I was going to LOVE it! It gives you a super cute storage idea for all of your faux leather earrings!
