Make An Earring Holder

Here's a stylish little earring holder you can make quite simply!! And, it even includes *burlap* (que crafters fainting). It's a great way to display your earrings. And, it helps to remind you of earrings you may have overlooked....

Alright, here's the list of supplies:

Wire Mesh (by the roll at Agway)

Burlap

Ribbon
Picture Frame

Hot Glue

Tiny Nails (to tack down the mesh)

~Take the wooden frame and measure some mesh to fit over it, no overlapping (it would cause sharp edges).

~With the frame right side facing up, tack the wire down with the tiny nails in the corners to help secure it. 

~ Trim out a piece of burlap to cover the back of the frame (optional....I made two different holders, one with burlap behind and one without and I liked them both the same) and hot glue it into place. 

~Trim some burlap into long 2" wide lengths.

~Lay the lengths down on the front of the frame, over the wire, and make pleats (every two inches or so) and use the hot glue to hold them in place on the frame. 

~Glue some of the ribbon over the inside edge.

You're done!!

A Marvelous Mess #54 and Features!!!

If you live in the Northeast, I'm betting you are as surprised as I am about the way spring is unfolding. So EARLY!! We just had our first BBQ of the year, played outside at the playground, colored with chalk on the driveway, and went for a long walk through the fields. Now, nature might prove me wrong and toss some snow our way, but at the point the forecast looks like warm all week and I can't wait to see my tulips and daffodils opening up!!

Here are my fave's from last week:

Have you heard of Future Fortified?? It's such an great idea. And, today is the perfect day to share this program with you because, if you didn't already know it, it's International Women's day!!

Future Fortified is a project made by the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) that has a mission to provide millions of women and children around the world with the nutrition they need to have a healthy life.

I love the idea of helping an entire community by treating the health of it members. I think this program has great potential. Please consider visiting this site Here and learning more.
