Another easy peasy earring display DIY

So after such an awesome response to the jewellery display DIY yesterday, I had a wicked idea that for earrings, because its annoying to have to dig through my earrings in a bowl. You could also use this to display all your earrings at craft fairs and markets if you're on a tight budget!


Here is how to make it :)

You will need:
- Scrap fabric
- Yarn
- Cardboard/ Foam Board
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle

1) Map out the cardboard on top of the fabric. I did this freehand, but you can use tailoring chalk/crayon/oil pastel to help if you want to be accurate.



2) Hold your fabric in place and sew around the edge of your cardboard. I'm doing this freehand but if it helps you could put double sided tape or ordinary tape around the edges to hold it whilst you sew.

If you are sewing freehand, as you are sewing, pull and hold the fabric a bit to get it to cover all around the edges.

To finish, do one giant stitch from one end of the cardboard to the other, and then if you want it to hang, do another big stitch but tie it nearer to your needle rather than completing the stitch.

This is what your earring display should look like;




If you would like to try this, please feel free, and then link me when you're done so I can see your version!
