DIY// twig display. I'm a bit obsessed with displaying my jewelry.
I HATE hoarding jewelry away in boxes, letting my necklaces get tangled and never being able to find that certain piece for my outfit. I'm visual, so I like being able to see everything, so having it displayed in a pretty way is just perfect for me. This is another earring display I found on Pinterest. I love using natural materials in my projects, so if you're a hippie at heart like I am, you'll love this too. Incredients: Twigs (check your backyard!) Paints (in whatever colors you fancy) Twine/Hemp/String Handy Dandy Hot Glue QUICK TIP: Make sure your twigs are big enough/small enough for your earrings/hooks for necklaces to hang on!
Paint your twigs! And yes, I am using the same colors from my Geometric Leather Feather Necklace! I am satisfied with the result! I chose to use just four of my twigs, but you can do how many you want to. If you don't want to make the display, I would just arrange these in a pretty vase! What the real Woman must be?

A Pretty Life in the Suburbs: Black Lace Earring Holder. This weekend was very productive for me!
Thank goodness, but I do believe my blogging mojo may just be back! Whew. I don’t know where it went, but good thing it seems not to have disappeared for life! I’m chalking it up to the dreary time of year it is here, and the fact that January/February were a little tough on me emotionally, but now the sun is finally coming out of the clouds. Woot woot! The first project I took on was just a little one, but for me it had big impact.
I love those kinds of projects! So, let’s get started! And while I do like it, it didn’t quite work the way I wanted it too. I needed something to hold all the earrings that I have, including those with backings on them. Plus, I found that the metal wire was a bit harsh on my earrings, so I also wanted something a little softer. So I made this! I used lace and made an embroidery hoop holder!
