Earring Organizer

I {used to} keep all of my earrings in a small drawer in my jewelry box. Recently, I made myself another pair of earrings and it was getting out of control in there. I finally dumped my earrings onto my dresser so I could see them all and find what I wanted. The time had come for a new earring organizer. Laura made a great one awhile back and I saved her blog post so I could copy her.

Here is my new earring organizer:

It cost me $1 out of pocket! I bought a frame at the dollar store, spray painted it white with paint I already had, convinced Laura to let me have an 8"x10" piece of the mesh she bought for her earring organizer, and used a piece of scrapbook paper I already had. I simply adhered the paper to the frame back and hot-glued the mesh onto the frame. I also found that I needed paper with a lot of contrast to look okay through the mesh, thus the black and white print.

It's now hanging in my closet, which I LOVE. Eric just put up more shelving and hung our mirror on the wall in our closet. I hung my earring organizer next to the mirror and it's so easy to pick out earrings when I get dressed! The stud and hoop earrings are still in the jewelry box. They don't work on the organizer, it's just for dangley earrings. Apparently "dangley" isn't a word, spell check doesn't like it, even if I spell it "dangly". Oh well, that's what they are.

Note about the earrings:
There are 10 pairs.
I made 7 of them.
Laura made one of them.
A fabulous lady from church taught Laura and me how to make earrings. She made one of the pairs.
Only one is store bought.
I'm not sure if this is good or bad.
