DIY - Picture Frame Stud-Earring Holder!

Yaaayyy!!

Okay, so I know it's just a DIY and I do them often...nothing big about DIYs but there's something you should know about why I do these. Yes, I like to make things look pretty and organized. However, besides that, it's my stress buster..mostly when I can't go get some "retail therapy" (read Shopping) done. haha!! 

  So you might just see a few DIYs coming up soon since my exams start next month! :P 

Annnyyywayyyy...moving on! I've wanted to do this one for a while now and finally had all the stuff I needed to make it! yay! Don't get me wrong, I'm not the in-your-face-display-everything kinda girl...okay maybe just a little. But I'm more the "out of sight. Out of mind" kinda girl. So it's a great way to know what you have so you don't end up buying the same thing again. (been there, done that!)  

Here's what you'll need

1) A photo frame (with a stand to make it sit upright) 

(size- depending on choice/how many stud-earrings you have) 

2) Some sheer fabric, not too stretchy. I chose net.

3) Hot Glue gun

4) A pair of scissors

-Optional:

4) paint and brushes of choice

5) embellishments

Step 1: 

Pull the picture frame apart so that you're left with just the frame. 

Mine was an ugly gold shiny one so i painted it metallic pink on the front side and back for a neat finish.

Step 2: 

Keeping the glass from the frame over the fabric0net of choice cut an inch around the glass. 

Step 3: 

Turn the frame over (front/face facing downward) and stick the net on the back so there are no creases, with a hot glue gun or industrial strength glue. I think Hot glue gun works best. Once it dries, cut of the excess sticking out around the sides with scissors.  

Step 4:

Cut out the strip where the stand is attached to the back of the frame. I painted mine on both sides to give it a nice smooth finish. Place the strip in place so that when the stand it opened, it sits evenly on a platform and then once you have that, glue it in place. 

Step 5: Optional

Embellish it and you're done!
