How funny — I just blogged about this a few weeks ago! I made mine with cross-stitch fabric instead, which solves the problem with post-back earrings and gives a softer look, if that’s what you’re after.

Thanks for the post!

I made similar earring holders when I was in college, but I used embroidery hoops I found on clearance at the craft store. I glued the screening in between the hoops just like you would a canvas, so it stayed put very well… then I used a fabric ruffle to decorate around the outside.
On the first design, I’d be concerned about post earrings… it looks pretty easy for the French hook design, but how do you get the backs on for a regular earring?
Gorgeous designs, and I LOVE the clipboards!!

Ooo, I’m loving that earring holder photo frame idea. I’ve recently been trying to figure out what to do with all of my earrings. So perhaps not a gift, but that could look fab in my bathroom!

Great ideas! I’ve got several frames, but no earrings so I’ll have to think of something else to do with them!

I love the earring holder frames! You know I’m a birthday-party-planning girl, and I can picture this as a special gift or party favor when my girls get their ears pierced. I feel it’s a rite of passage for a young lady, so I plan to celebrate that special day — although at 5 Mary Ashley says she never wants to get her ears pierced because it hurts too much. That is fine with me now, as I still want to wait until she is at least 10. But I will tuck this idea away until we need it. Merry Christmas!
