diy {wire fence frame}

I love organization that is both functional and beautiful. I had been looking for a way to store all the hair clips that I make for Talia (yes, I make every one!) when I came across this project over at Under The Sycamore. I made my own version with a frame I found at a thrift store priced at $3.99, the frames just happened to be 50% off that day so I actually scored it for only $1.99! I don't have a before picture of the frame (because I was too excited to get started and forgot.) Let's just say it was in pretty bad shape but it was nothing a little spray paint couldn't fix. I love the finished product and it was so simple and inexpensive to do!
I decided to make another one to store some of my earrings and this time I remembered to take pictures :) As you can see the frame was priced at 1.98 but I got it during another 50% off sale so I picked it up for a mere 99 cents.

I removed the glass and backing and then cut a piece of wire to the size of my frame

Then I used a staple gun to secure the wire to the back of the frame

Easy right? The frame was pretty plain so I added some embellishments to dress it up a bit

Using Mod Podge I applied some crocheted lace trim and a bow I had salvaged from a pair of shoes that my dog had accidentally mistaken for an afternoon snack. I was going to attach the bow with a glue gun but then decided to use velcro sticky dots instead so that I could easily swap it for something else if I wanted to.

Ta da! So simple and lovely and since I already had all the supplies on hand this charming little earring holder only cost me 99 cents to make!

Let's look again at the frame before... and after! Love it :)

Update: you can now purchase my handmade hair clips via my online Etsy shop, poppy and pine. Cheers and happy shopping!
