A little crafty fun today!

I really do like easy crafts!  I do!  :)  and this one was the SIMPLEST I have done!  :)  I was wandering through goodwill today and found 2!!! wire paper holders for the desk.  I immediately saw them on the wall with earrings hanging on them!  It's all about looking at things in a new and different way!  I thought that the drywall screws we had leftover would work well to hang it, so my total investment per jewlery hanger was $2.99 (too bad it wasn't the 1/2 price tag!  ;) )

Here's what I gathered to hang it:

Then it was a matter of just holding it up the wall where I wanted it, pushing with the screwdriver so I knew where to put the screws, then I put the hanger down, screwed in the screws- leaving about 1/2- 1/4" out so the hanger can catch on it, and then hang it up.  Total time?  5 min!  or less!

Final product?

Please disregard the beautiful pictures my daughter has drawn on the wall!  ;)   I WILL need to get some S hooks so we can hang the necklaces, and the closed hook earrings don't do well, but the plain post earrings can go on the edge so you can put the back on it, or just take it off the wall to put them on there... it's not that hard to put up and down.....
