Picture frame earring holder


Supplies:
1 Frame (no glass or backing needed)- size of your choice
Chicken wire- enough to cover the back of the frame
Hot glue gun
Ribbon- I used 12" grosgrain, but if you want it to hang either shorter or longer, adjust to your preference
Possible staple gun (depending on the type of material that is used for the frame
Step 1: Attach the chicken wire to the back of the frame.
If you chose a softer wood frame, you can use the staple gun to attach the chicken wire to the back of the frame. If you chose a plastic or harder wood frame, I would use the hot glue gun to attach the chicken wire to the back of the frame.



Step 2: Attach the ribbon to the frame.
To attach the ribbon to the frame, if your frame has the hanging brackets, then tie the ribbon to the brackets. If not, just use the hot glue gun to attach the ribbon. When I first hung the frame, I realized that the ribbon was hanging so that you could see it behind the chicken wire- not what I was wanting. To fix it, I glued a little bit of the ribbon to the side of the chicken wire so that it would not peek behind for everyone to see

This frame is perfect for my entire hook earring collection- it keeps them organize as well as can be used as some décor!

Welcome!

So I have found a love to making quilts. I do a little bit of embroidery, and am working on a couple of projects that incorporate both the embroidery machine as well as quilting.  This blog is about creative sewing and quilting.  There will also be tutorials on some of the projects.  If you have any questions about sewing (garment fitting to general sewing questions), quilting, or craft projects, feel free to let me know and I will see what I can do to answer your questions.  Check back for pictures of projects.
