My Latest Project!

My latest project idea came to me as I was trying to figure out where to put my earrings.  I had them in a box, but with them out of sight, I would always forget to wear them!  In one of favourite magazines, they had suggested putting fabric over a cork board and then putting little sewing pins up on the fabric to hang the earring from.  I decided that was a little to plain for me, so I decided to incorporate my own style in it by adding my "earring tree".  Super SIMPLE!!  


This entire project was made for less than £5!!  I found some scraps of felt that I had from previous projects and used that for the seriously cute tree!  To attach the fabric to the cork board, I just cut down the fabric to a size that would allow for folding over the edges around the back and then used my favourite tool, the hot glue gun, to attach the fabric to the back.  For the tree, I cut out my felt pieces and then glued them down with fabric glue!  Easy!  You could really use it to hang your necklaces and other jewellery from as well!  But, I already have the cutest necklace/bracelet holder in the world!  Super CUTE!  Now, my earrings have a place and we can also use the rest of the board to pin up special papers and reminders!
