I made a button earring holder today. I got the idea from
This post on Carolyn’s Homework, an excellent craft and homemaking site. I found her through
Truebluemeandyou, my favorite craft tumblr. I felt that this earring holder was something I really needed, since I really have trouble organizing my earrings, not to mention the rest of my jewelry. It’s perfect for travel and living temporarily in a dormitory. The project took literally five minutes. It took longer to take the pictures (and to lament my lack of any artistic ability whatsoever) than to do the actual project.
Craft problems encountered: For bigger earrings, I needed to put two buttons adjacent to each other to accommodate one earring each. They just won’t fit. Also, and this is not a problem exactly, if you’re using a glue gun or something similar you need to keep the ribbon suspended while you’re attaching the buttons or else everything just sticks to your work surface.
