The 2-minute earring holder thingy

I used to keep all of my earrings in a little box or jewelry bowl but I would forget what pairs I had, and often forget to wear them altogether. When I started hanging them up on lace, I could see all of them easily and pick out a pair that matched without any hassle.

This is so quick and easy to make! I've been using it almost 2 years now and I love how handy and convenient it is.


Ok, ready for the instructions?

First, buy approximately 12 inches of wide lace, any color that matches your decor.

Second, hang it up on your bathroom wall or bedroom wall next to your mirror. Hang up your earrings. You're finished!

Enjoy your new earring holder thingy. :)

  2. Brilliant!

    My earrings are all piled in a box - several pair to a section. I am thinking of making your project just a little more complicated by adding a frame and maybe more than one row of lace. But I totally love how this is working out for you.

    Crazy for the cobalt blue disks and the sweet little shells.

  3. That's a great idea to make it look more polished, Pam! Any width lace would work for this and it would be so cute to put them in a cool frame, good thinkin! :)

  6. This is a beautiful way of keeping track of my earrings, I love it so much I've linked to it on my blog (http://handmadebyclairebear.com/2011/07/19/why-didnt-i-think-of-that/). I know I should have asked first, but this was so great I got carried away.
