Shadowbox Earring Holder

There are about a bazillion earring holders in blogland/cyberworld.  I was going to make one out of a frame and wire mesh like many people do, but then I found something BETTER! {In my humble opinion}



I honest to goodness can't remember if I found this at Marshall's or TJMaxx, LOVE them both!  And you could probably find something like this at either one.  It's a shadow box with a hinge door that opens and has a magnetized close.  The inside is a thin foam covered with burlap.  I bought 2 of them! {I have a lot of earrings...}

It was white when I bought it and I spray painted it Coral Isle to match my lamps and bring some more color accent to the room.




I also glazed the details with a dark brown:


I hung {most} of my earrings in the 2 shadowboxes.  I used pins for some of the hoop ones that don't have hooks.


I hung them in the corner of my bedroom right next to my necklace holder.  It is so handy to have them in close proximity.


I love that I can see right through the glass; do you ever pick out your accessories first, then chose an outfit? I do that sometimes, it's a good way to think outside the box a little bit and put together new combinations...


It opens so easily and I don't have to worry about earrings getting tangled, rifling through them to find a mate, or getting lost. Plus, it doesn't take up room on the dresser.



 Seriously, it's so handy if you're looking for a cute easy way to display/store your earrings!  I love it!

  1. I really like this. I made a "necklace holder" with a little shelve that I had the other day, I thought it looked quite nice but Ben hated it...do I care? Of course not as long as I like it that's what matters :)

  13. Your pouches will degrade after time, so you will have to repair them every once
    in a while in the abyss. The more vulnerable the global economy looks,
    the greater the demand for gold and silver. Thanks for reading this article about Oregon gem mining

  14. When all the other dogs in the pound are barking, trying to bark louder will only get you noticed for the wrong
    things. The one significant aspect is that the total number of bitcoins
    will be capped and held at a strict and abitrary expansion rate.
    This Spanish pork sausage is a flavoursome ingredient which is becoming
    more and more popular, and is versatile enough to
    suit lots of recipes.
