Change'n it up some - New way to display earrings

Ever just need a change? Just something to mix it up some, something to breath a little life into what you have been doing? That is what I need. I wanted to do something to perk up the booth, perk up myself, 'specially doing a show tomorrow.

And the idea hit - I wanted to change up the way I am displaying my earrings. I stormed around the house gathering up items I would need. In the process I yell at James "Have you seen my scissors?" - "No," he replies "I don't mess with your stuff - I value my life!"....Good man :)


I have some card stock, scissors, hole punch, stamp, ink, ornament hangers, star shaped paper cutter thingy, paint brush and the grand daddy of all crafting items, the item of a million uses - Modge Podge. (this is the equivalent of JB Weld for any handy dandy fix-it ppl you know)



I picked a color of card stock - cut it into rectangles




Punched a hole at the top. *grumble* Why oh WHY do I continue to keep trying to paint my nails?? I MUST remember to remove that before tomorrow.



The star stamp is kinda my signature. I use it on all of my earring cards, and it is a nice decoration.



Some of the colors of card stock may be too dark for a stamp - so - cut out a star of a lighter color and glue it on your card stock. Or cut out 2 or 3 different colors and decorate it up some! I didn't have glue - so that is where the Modge Podge and paint brush comes in. Just a little dab 'il do ya!!



Put the ornament hook in the top and WAH-LA!!!! You have a hanging earring display!



I hung em on my earring board . They are crazy colorful and eye catching. My poor dog, while I was hanging them, trotted back and forth from me to the door, he says "Mom! It's pretty out!! Let's go play!!"


Then browsing blogs this morning, I found this over at Deez News - She has some great display ideas and I LOVE this idea. Earrings on a fun little stamped card, in a cell-eh-fain envelope and displayed in a wrought iron basket. Too Cute!!!!




Here is the aftermath of my little project this morning. I spent too much time in the yard playing with the dogs, and left a mess to clean up when I get home from work.

What are your display ideas?

Have a great weekend!!!
