The beautiful vintage sewing machine earrings I won in the Hugs & Kisses blog giveaway inspired me to take all the danglies out of my overcrowded jewelry box and hang them on the wall. Since I already had all the materials on hand, it was free, too! Simply wrap an old frame in fabric strips (I used a faux suede remnant), staple strips of lace across the back, and poke the earring wires through the holes in the lace. It’s easy-peasy, pretty, and makes choosing just the right pair of earrings a breeze. P.S. One of my Thanksgiving guests exclaimed, “That’s just what I need!” so now I’m making one as a gift for her, too! P.P. S. (1-3-13) I was just going through some bookmarked websites and found THIS! I couldn’t remember before where I got my inspiration, but now I know! Thank you, This Italian Family! ♥

what a fabulous idea! 🙂 love it!
Thank you! 🙂
That’s very kewl!!!
Thank you, Lisa! 🙂 You’re kewl, too! 🙂
Wow! While it’s so simple, it looks so elegant. Beautiful work! I need to do something similar but for my necklaces. Right now, they are precariously dangling from the vanity mirror. Thanks for inspiring me to get on that!
Thank you, Lauren! Do you have a World Market store near you? They have BEAUTIFUL painted ceramic hooks for around $2 each. I have those on the wall for my longer necklaces and belts and scarves. For bracelets and shorter necklaces, I framed some scrapbook-covered thick cardboard, put in decorative thumbtacks, and hung the jewelry from those. BUT . . . there are TONS of other good ideas out there, too! 🙂
Fantastic idea! I’ll have to try it. Thank you.
You’re very welcome! It’s so much fun to be able to make something pretty (and useful, too!) with things you already have on hand! 🙂
Love this! Such a great way to display such pretty earrings!!

Thank you, Kenley! 🙂
Great Earrings ORGANIZER! It is very nice. Thank you for sharing. Mtetar
You’re very welcome! 🙂
What a great way to use lace! I love this! I have an easel that I could put a frame on and set on my dresser instead of hanging. Once again, you have given your readers another wonderful idea!
Enjoy your day!
Using an easel is a GREAT idea! I hope you’ll get a chance to make it, Vickie! 🙂
Aren’t you the clever one!!! My “collection” is in such a muddle…..definitely will explore this idea……after the holidays!!!!! LOL! Hugs………..
I have a long “after the holidays” list, too! 🙂
I use a small stretchable cup/coat rack for mine…on my bedroom wall…Saw it at a nursing home I was visiting for one of the residents…
What a great idea! Maybe you can post a picture sometime??? 🙂
Looks fabulous!!
Thank you! I’m really enjoying it . . . and find that I’m wearing a lot more different earrings these days now that I can see them! 🙂

No, thank you for sharing ALL of your wonderful ideas:)
I love this! At first, I was thinking “what a great gift idea”…. But now I’m thinking of it for myself!
Or do I like I did . . . do BOTH! 🙂
Adorable!
Thank you!!! It sure helps with getting dressed and accessorized in the mornings! 🙂
That’s such a clever idea. Thanks for sharing it
You’re very welcome! 🙂
I have pretty hooks for necklaces, but nothing for earrings (and I always wear a matching set!).
I love it!
Thank you! I’m definitely having a lot more variety in my accessories now that everything is so easy to see! 🙂
Had not seen one with lace. Just fabulous!
Thank you! 🙂

I love this!! What a creative idea 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
I have to share with you what you have inspired me to do. After reading this post I got a small red gift bag and wrote the pattern for this on a piece of paper. I then put the paper in the bag and am going to keep it on my bookcase as an “ideas ” bag. With the grace of God I will use these ideas for upcoming gifts. I love the idea of the earring frame and oh course I am prompted to think hmmm.. what if I did…. : ) As we say in Australia “Goodonya”
Wow . . . that made my day!!! What a wonderful way to keep track of ideas! You’re the best!!! 🙂

That’s so great, I have been looking for a cute earring storage solution for my friend’s mother! Thank you for solving my mystery!
You’re very welcome, Lacy! I hope she LOVES it! 🙂
Wow, well there is another clever and different idea! Brilliant! I would definitely do this. But only if Santa slips a little extra time into my stocking, unfortunately.
That’s what we’d ALL like from Santa this year, wouldn’t we!!! 🙂

Love love love this idea! Looking for deco ideas for my master bedroom and this is a fabulous 2-in-1 solution for my treasure trove of accessories, some of which I end up not wearing because they are hidden away in the boxes or drawers.
Thank you for this and always supporting me 🙂 Happy holidays and have a blast welcoming 2013!
Cheers!
