DIY: twofeer!



Clutter cutter and Earring holder! I think so!

I had a great and easy idea. This came out trying to think of what to get my mom-in-law for Christmas. I saw cork, some old picture frames! Ta-da! Brilliant. I went to work.... It turned out great. And she loved it! Since she loved it I thought, maybe other people will love it too!

It's simple an

d easy and I'm sure people have already thought of this. BUT this is one of New Year's goals...more crafty!

Here we go. Materials:
*You need any size frame, any color. If your going to paint yours than do that first and let dry. Make sure the frame can stand on it's own if it's going on a dresser. But they work hanging on the wall too.

*Cork. I bought mine from Wal-Mart. Just a couple of bucks.
*Marking utencil

And that's all!

WHAT TO DO:
Take back off of frame. Remove glass.
Lay the glass down on the cork.
Trace around the glass.













Then, cut on the line. And pop it into the frame
to see if it fits. If not trim slightly at the cork until
it fits.













AND....... TA-DA!!
A stylish new earing hold that can sit or hang anywhere you
want it too!

I LOVE it, simple and easy...my kinda thing!

Gone n' Here

Sooo one day I thought to myslef "I wonder if my blog is still up?". Here it is!

I was gone and now I'm here. I'm going to try and update this thing like a good little blogger. So we'll see how this goes!

Also, instead up just trying to catch you up on everything that has happened in the last couple of years I'm just going to start where I'm at right now. Hope you don't mind. It's not to hard to fill in the gaps...trust me.
