Bored so I'm getting crafty

My latest creation...a homemade earring holder!

This little project was quick, cheap, and super easy...and the result is a nice touch of decoration for my room! 

Supplies: 
Wire mesh grease splatter guard - bought mine for €1.20
Ribbon - €0.75
Scissors
Screwdriver
Lighter
 
Process: 
  1. Using the screwdriver (or other tool depending upon the splatter guard you have), remove the handle of the splatter guard.
  2. Poke two SMALL holes in the mesh near the edges from which you would like the ribbon to extend (using either the screwdriver or the scissors).
  3. Cut 2 pieces of ribbon to desired length.
  4. Use the lighter to slightly burn one end of each ribbon so it is easier to fit through the small hole you have made in the wire.
  5. Thread one piece of the ribbon through either hole.
  6. Use the lighter to adhere the burnt end of the ribbon to the backside of the ribbon...I suppose you could also sew or glue the two pieces together.
  7. Tie the two pieces of ribbon into a bow.
  8. Hang on wall.
  9. Hang earrings and admire your new earring holder! 
 
TA-DAHH! No more digging through your jewelry box to find the right pair! Enjoy :)
