Earrings to Push Pins

While I was visiting Medical Springs, my grandma gave me some of my great grandmother's old earrings. I love them and wanted to use them in a way that they would be really visible. So, I created a cheap version of a bulletin board and the earrings became push pins. I love how they turned out and I like that if I decide to use them for something else, I can just take the push pin off the back that's attached with hot glue. Easy peasy.




 The "bulletin board" is actually foam board which I hot glued some sewn-together fabric scraps to. It was a quick little project and isn't as perfectly straight-edged as I would like, but I love how it complements my purple and gray bedding while giving some additional color to the room.

Thats a good idea. I lose so many earrings and am left with one which I usually throw away. I guess I should start keeping them! Your board looks cute!
