Paint and Chicken Wire

Greetings my friends. I recently completed a project I have been wanting to do for a very long time. I desperately wish that I had taken pictures of the step by step process but I got a bit carried away in my excitement and unfortunately only took a picture of the completed project.

I promise I made it all by myself though. Well... Nathan cut the chicken wire for me, but the fact that it is not store bought is what I am getting at here.

VOILA!!

 

 

For all of you ladies out there who enjoy earrings as much as I do, you probably have found that a proper storage technique is difficult to come by. Inspired by a similar jewelry holder I once saw at a friends house, I decided to venture out and create my own for my vast earring collection.

 

The recipe is as follows:

 

1 frame of any shape and size

1 bottle of acrylic paint (if not already desired color)

several sheets of scrapbook paper for the background

1 paint brush

3 sq. feet of chicken wire

several small nails

wire cutters

 

Step One: Paint frame, if necessary.

Step Two: Apply scrapbook paper to inside of frame, discard any glass.

Step Three: Cut chicken wire to fit about 1/2 inch around the outside of the inner part of the frame.

Step Four: Nail and stretch chicken wire.

Step Five: Hang up jewelry and earrings.

Step Six: Marvel at your new (and cute!) organizational methods.
