DIY: earrings board

How to make your own earring board (to display your earrings so they won't hook each other up in the drawer)

Materials needed:

1. Corkboard: Artfriend ($9)
2. Feather boa: Artfriend ($5)
3. Mirror frame: Artfriend ($5)
4. Wrapping paper: Borders ($9) - you can buy cheaper ones. I bought this because I LOVE the pink pearlised effect.
5. Pushpins: Kinokuniya ($2)- you should get this type so that the earrings can be supported by the stump. The usual ball ones don't work.

6. Scissors & Double-sided tape.

Total cost: $30

What to do:
1. Cut wrapping paper to fit the corkboard and pushpin the paper onto the board.
2. Double-sided tape the whole frame.

3. Stick mirror onto the centre of the frame, and then stick the boa around the whole frame.
4. Pin up the pushpins wherever you desire and hang up your earrings/accessories!


And it's done in 15 minutes! Simple? :)


The good thing about this board is that when you buy more earrings/accessories, you can still pin them on by rearranging the pushpins to create space. You can also buy a hook and hang the frame up somewhere in your room if you wish to! :)
