Earring Holder

I used:

  • a yard sale frame (glass removed for another project)
  • ruler
  • wire hangers
  • strong wire cutters
  • sharpie
  • drill

I first measured where I wanted the horizontal lines to be. I marked with the sharpie. Cut the bottoms of the wire hangers to be just a little long. Drilled a small hole at each mark and inserted the hanger piece into each hole.

Hung it up in the bathroom. Makes for a functional art piece showing off my earring collection.

 

Family Birthday Chart

  • We cut a piece of wood about 24″ long and then used the router to make the edges purdy.
  • Then, we spray painted the wood. For my mother in laws, I modge podged some patterned scrapbook paper on to hers so it was fancy.
  • We used the Silhouette to cut out the vinyl. The font is called Teeny Boppin NF.
  • We got the little circles from our local craft store. I think they are 1 3/4″ size. Garrett drilled holes (1/16″ drill bit) in the top and bottom of each circle. Those dang things break easy though so be careful! Also I would drill the holes before you paint them because they break so much.
  • He also drilled some holes in the plaque to hang the circles from. Then we got the little eye hooks from Home Depot to hang them all together with.
  • Cami color coded the circles by families (There are 9 kids in her family!). Then just write their names on the circles and the # of the day in the month their birthday is on. We hung ours in numerical order.
