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.

Step 1
Collect together your materials! I find this is a great project for using those odd bits and pieces, and extra special buttons.
Step 2
Cut a piece of lace material (I have used an old net curtain) the same size as your frame.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
And you're done! Just find a perfect spot to display your creation.
