All in A Day's Work

Ever had the problem of staring into a messy box of earrings n dunno wat are the choices u have?
Ahh~~ All thanks to my smart brain.. An idea pop into my mind yday.. Wasn't exactly staring into the box of messy earrings when i tot of it though..

The first idea was sth likdat...


Make holes on a rectangular board n put earrings on it.. But however, if the board is to be made of wood.. I dun hav driller to make holes on them.. If its paper, it wun last.. So needs more tinking...

Then tada~.. Shijia made a suggestion of using cross stitch cloth.. So problem solved! Just need to make a frame to make sure the cloth stays in the rectangular shape.. haha.. Wanted to find wood strips for dat.. but then the shop selling the wood closed le.. sad.. Then smart me tot of using styrofoam.. wahaha..

With the materials gathered.. I started to make the frame.. n cut the cloth.. haha.. then another problem came.. dunno how to put the cloth on the styrofoam frame.. Arghh
But well.. smart me always has some smart ideas.. haha.. Tried using pins and stapler but then the pins n the stapler dun stay.. N guess wat i used! See the pic below for the answer ba.. Dats the finished product, contained in a pretty paper box! =)

After hanging up all my earrings ah.. the board looks almost full le.. Guess i need to make another one tml... Ha.. Can easily count how many pairs i have too.. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, .... Wow.. got 15! Ha.. got another two spoilt ones need repairing which are not up here.. Din know i got so many earrings...

Any smarter ideas to contribute? Add to the comments!
