Earring Display Craft

This is my third attempt at a earring hanger, but by far the nicest. It's an extremely easy craft, all you need is:

- glue gun (apparently known as a Hot-melt adhesive unless you want a band page, according to Wiki) with a couple glue sticks,

- used frame (check out your local thrift store again)

- piece of cloth (either lace or something with fibres spread enough that you can fit the earrings through it, I used a used curtain)

So you place the cloth down on a table and fold it over the frame, gluing along the inside. Watch your fingers, it's hot! Once you've done one side, do the opposite side pulling the cloth fairly tight. It doesn't have to be so tight that it's about to rip because earrings are just not that heavy.

Do all the sides then try to work on the corners. It's a bit like gift wrapping. You try to fold it over nicely on the sides, but know that no one will see the inside of the frame. Cut any pieces that touch the front side of the cloth from the back, because they'll show through as dark shadows (although I bet you could work with that, making this an even more intricate shadow project earring display!)

I've also seen some interesting variations where they've framed a nice piece of lace, but the selection of frames and lace were pretty limited at my thrift store.

Good luck!
