Here's a quick little project

I've been working on to hold my earrings, and maybe a necklace or two...

It will hang in the bathroom so I can quickly grab a pair and head out the door.

[I've tried several things and have not been happy with them.]

I picked up this little bird cage hook a few weeks back. 

[Hobby Lobby - half price.]

So cute. [Zakka?]

 

And I gathered piece of discarded screen and cut a piece to fit "inside" the bird cage 

[I gave it a good coat of paint - I'm loving kyrlon's glossy white right now.] 

I bent it and pushed it in to match the curve of the cage 

and used the ends to overlap just a bit to hold it all together.

 

 Then I painted a piece of wood those gorgeous blues I use so much 

[and added some stamping to the top - 
my newest favorites are the rolly ones from Stampin' Up. 

So easy to just roll across my mixed media work - and lots of fun patterns too!]

I attached the birdcage to the wood with a clear push pin 

so I can lift it on and off.

I rarely wear earrings with backs on them, 

but want to be able to secure them on from the back, if needed.

It's not perfect - but it's functional, and gives me a little happy.

And, like I said before, 
nothing wrong with adding a little happy into our lives now and then...
How do you store your earrings?
