DIY Table Top Earring Holder

From the wonderfully crafty Jennifer.

Looking for a quick DIY earring holder idea that costs less than $3? I made this simple holder for a jewelry class when I wanted to showcase inspiration pieces. All you need is a two sided frame and a sheet of plastic canvas.

The frame is a 4x6” two sided plastic table top frame purchased from IKEA®. The 14-count white plastic canvas was purchased at a local craft store.

1. First remove the two plexiglass pieces from the frame.
2. Then use one of the plexiglass rectangles as a template for cutting the perfect size piece of plastic canvas.
3. Just slide the plastic canvas sheet into the top of the frame.

For those of you who want to spice up this plain frame (which is only available in white) try spray painting the frame with a paint designed for plastic. Krylon® makes a paint called Fusion For Plastic® and they offer an assortment of colors. This will jump up the price for the project but the color pop is a fun addition!

I hope you enjoy crafting your own jewelry holders to reflect your personal style!  ~Jennifer
