DIY Earring organizer

Note: This post in sponsored by ForRent.com, but all opinions are my own. 

The ol’ earring organizer is actually one of the first blog posts that ever made it on C.R.A.F.T. It’s also one of my all time fave projects and the original earring organizer still hangs on my bathroom wall to this day! Although, we just moved into our first really house, I’m a pro at living in small spaces. Utilizing every nook and cranny is essential to making your small space work for you. I love to hang these on the backs of the doors or even add free standing doors to organize whole spaces, like I did with my kitchen door organizer or the re make of the door to organize kids school stuff!

Anyhow, rent or own your home, you need an earring organizer in your life.

Here’s what you need:

• Any size frame
• Staple gun
• Scissors
• Spray paint
• Painters tape
• Wire mesh (I buy an old screen at Habitat Re-Store for $1 and cut it up.)

The wire mesh is easier to find than you might think. If you live in a big city, you have a Habitat Re-Store, go, browse and brew up delicious DIY ideas, then buy a screen for a dollar! Here’s the one I bought for this project. I’ll probably make a few more earring organizers as gifts for friends at some point.

After you cut the screen, it’s time to spray paint. I used Frog Tape to make nice crisp lines with my spray paint, like so…

Then, you just staple your mesh to the back of your frame. E-A-S-Y. Oh, and I did a hangout on air with Amber from ForRent.com so you can see the step by step live, if you’d like:
