Just do it

Back to jumping on the "going green" bandwagon, I have been looking for some cool inexpensive DIY (do it yourself) projects. These projects not only let out you inner artist and add personal touches to your wardrobe, room, etc. but it also saves the Earth by not accumulating ready made products.

I came across this cute little DIY project on cosmogirl.com. It's a wire frame earring holder. All you need is:

• an empty picture frame
• wire mesh
  
• wire cutters
• tape measure
• spray paint (optional)
• sharpie
• thumbtacks

The first step is to paint the frame if you don't already like the color it is. Make sure to lay down newspaper to avoid stains and spray the paint in a well ventilated area. [***to go even more "green" you should hand paint the frame, because aerosol cans have been proven to damage the ozone layer and they are also not very good for us to inhale.***]

Next, after the paint has dried, turn it over and measure its diameter 1/2 from the inside of the frame. Mark the spot and measure the wire mesh to size.

Finally, use the thumbtacks to secure the mesh and hang it up!

All you have to do is hook the back of your earrings into the little holes on the wire mesh!
I don't know about you, but this is a sweet project that I'm going to try ASAP
