Earring Hanger/Display

This earring display is simply a picture frame with plastic canvas stapled to the back. I'm not sure how long it will hold up, but it works better than the shoe box :)

Jewelry/Necklace Holder

I've seen lots of Jewelry holders and necklace hangers on the internet. This is what I came up with. I've had my jewelry in a shoe box for the last 2+ years, so it was time to do something about it!! I found some unframed cork board at WalMart (it came in 4 12x12 panels) and some 50% off frames at Hobby Lobby. I covered the cork board with linen and used a stapler to attach it :) I couldn't find anything else that worked as well as staples. I put the frames on and hung them up. I used cute push pins/thumb tacks that I also found at WM. Next I need to figure out a way to organize my earrings!!!

Little Girl Jewelry

These were super easy to make. I bought some of the stretchy wire and some beads that looked like they might be pretty and went at it.

First I measured my daughter's wrist (4.25 inches)
Then I measured down 6 inches on my wire but I didn't cut it, I just tied a knot at the 6 inch mark. This made it easier to hold the string of beads. I kept dropping it when I cut the wire before stringing the beads.
Once you have the beads on in the pattern you like (I tried several before finally making a decision), loop the ends together and tie a knot over the one you already tied at the bottom. I tied a knot 3 times, just to make sure it would stay. Then, the lady I bought the beads from suggest using some kind of super glue to put over your knot for extra strength.
