Craft Project

So I saw this image below of a DIY earring display on Pinterest awhile ago and have wanted to try to make my own for a while.  My earring collection is poorly displayed in a pile in a flat jewelry box now and I end up wearing the same things over and over again just out of convenience.  

I convinced two of my friends here to make one with me, so we ventured out to Ikea for a cheap frame and the hardware store for the rest of the supplies.  

We bought window screen to mount within the frame, but the wood that the Ikea frames are made out of proved to be more difficult than I had expected.  It was so hard that it bent both tacks and screws, and ended up pretty much ruining the little bit of screen material I had.  

So plan B, I added hooks and now its a necklace holder.  I actually really like how it turned out, despite the fact that it doesn't hold as much as I had hoped.
