Quick and Easy " Recipe"

                                                   


                                                   I love old gold and gilded frames. 

                           My master bath is filled with antique gold framed mirrors.

I have 2 ornate frames, found in a thrift store, that I had  mirrors cut to fit, and put in. Those hang in my living room.  
But, I do really try to keep the gilt frame theme in the bathroom!!!

Here is a quick and easy earring display I made for my bathroom. 

Most of my earrings are stored in jewelry cubbies- sometime the earrings of the day are just tossed into a huge abalone shell on my counter. This frame not only solves the problem of where to put them, but also lets me see what I have,- rather than wasting time rummaging thru the cubbies looking for a certain pair. (And, believe me - I have way more than are hanging on this frame!!!)



recipe

1 gilt thrift store picture frame- no glass

1 backing- pattern/design up to you

Cut a piece of chicken wire (or 1/4 inch mesh) to fit within the frame

Put frame backing on

Hang earrings on wire

VOILA ! 

FINI !

  4. I made something similar to that this Christmas for two of my girls - but I like yours so much better with the gold frame and the chicken wire. I used window screen for mine. The girls love it for their earrings - it turned out to be a hit :)
