DIY earring organizer
Is there anything better than making something from nothing?
That's what I like best about my new earring organizer.
I'd looked at some wall-mounted organizers online, but everything cost a lot more than I was willing to shell out. So I devised my own by gluing a scrap of window screening to the back of an old 11-by-17-inch picture frame, spray-painted black.
Earrings with plain hooks fit right through the screen holes, and I repurposed some Christmas ornament hooks for hanging my lever-back and hoop earrings. I can even hang post earrings by pulling the bottom of the organizer away from the wall a little bit to give me access to attach the earring backs.
Now my earrings are no longer in a tangle in a basket. Instead, they decorate my wall when they're not decorating my ears.
