From the Designer: "Glittery earrings need a place of their own to shine! Hanging up your long and dangling earrings is a great way to display them when you are not wearing them, and it keeps your earrings from getting tangled. Use a smaller shadow box to hold just a few favorite earrings, or select a large shadowbox to house your whole earring collection! You can make this earring holder with just a few simple supplies. Adding multiple layers of glitter paint will make your earring holder extra sparkly!"

Materials List

  • Wooden Shadow Box Frame (8"x8" shown here)
  • Folk Art Chalk paint - black
  • Testors Intense Glitter Brilliance Paint
  • Stirring Stick
  • Paintbrush
  • Scrapbook Paper
  • Scissors
  • Picture hanging wire
  • Small eye screws
  • Jewelry Pliers (optional)

Instructions

  1. Open the shadowbox. Remove the glass and set aside - it will not be used for this project.

  2. Cut the scrapbook paper the size of the backing. You might need a few dots of adhesive to secure the scrapbook paper in place. Set aside

  3. Paint the frame with a base coat of the Folk Art black paint. Allow to dry.

  4. Following the instructions on the can, paint 3-4 coats of the Testors Intense glitter paint on the frame. Make sure to stir the paint well before applying - the glitter will settle.

  5. On the inside of the frame, along both sides, measure 1" from the top, 3" from the top, and 5" from the top.

  6. At each measurement, screw in an eye screw. You want the screw as close to the front of the shadowbox as possible, to leave room for the earring wires.

  7. Cut 3 pieces of the picture hanging wire, each 12" long. String them between the sets of eye screws.

  8. Put the backing back into place.

  9. Hang your favorite earrings on your new earring holder - now they will always be close at hand!
