jewelry hanger

Anybody out there discovered pinterest yet?...I love it! I've gotten so many ideas from it which is where I was inspired for my latest project. Here is what gave me the idea and then I just did my own version of it at home.

I first started with a frame from Hobby Lobby..half price of course. And just a tip...if you have a smart phone, they do accept their 40% off coupon (online...click here) directly from your phone if you pull it up and show it at the register.

All you need for this project are the items pictured below...

• a frame without a back
• a roll of screen (got that from Lowe's)
• staple gun (extra staples)
• wire cutters

And then you cut the screen the size of the frame..I left a little extra on the sides so I could staple it easily and then trimmed the extra when I was done.


Use the staple gun to staple the screen onto the frame, like so...


The frame I purchased didn't have any brackets or anything to hang it with. So, I got my hunky handyman husband to drill holes in the back for the nails to go in when I (he) hung it.


And then I wanted to show a size scale of my finished product. This is Briggs 5 1/2 months old...so as you can see...the frame is pretty large. Isn't that baby cute! Of course, you could always do something smaller or a couple small frames...I just opted for a larger one.


And here is my finished product...


I'm really pleased with the finished product. It's a cute way to display your earrings and makes it easier to use what you have, when you can see it better. More to come from these DIY projects. I'm working on a necklace hanger now...can't wait to share that one..gonna be cute!
