Earring Holder

Today I made an earring holder for all of my earrings because I was sick of losing them all the time! I took out the back and glass of a black frame and hot glued left over lace from my magnetic makeup board project. Now they match :) That is all it took! The part that took forever was rearranging the earrings but now I know where everything is and can see my options.

Decorated Wreaths

My mom and grandma went to Hathorne Hill craft fair where they found wreaths decorated with antique pieces. They thought this would be a good craft for me, my sister, mom, aunt, cousin, and grandma. Today we all got together and decorated our own wreath. My sister and I chose to spray ours with glitter to add some extra blingage!

This is my mom's...Wine and Grapes

This is mine...girly!!


 My sister did a Halloween one!

And my cousin did a hockey one...
My grandma did a Christmas one and a bird one. And my aunt did a Halloween one as well. Basically you can just pick a thing, collect little nick-nacks and start glue gunning! My mom had to wire a few of the heavier items.

Magnetic Makeup Board

I love this one! The base is a flat cookie sheet. I painted that with black paint and sprinkled gold glitter on it. When that was dry I covered it with lace fabric and hot glued it to the back. Next I outlined it in lacy ribbon in order to cover the curve in the sheet. Then I hot glued small circular magnets to the back of each makeup so that it'd be easy to switch once I run out. For the brush holder, it was originally maroon and leather, but I spray painted it black, added gold glitter, and outlined the top with left over lacy fabric. Two magnets were needed to hold up the heavy container with all the brushes.
