Do you call earrings that? No? Oh, me neither....
For a long time all my ear hookers hook earrings have been a jumbled mess in my room. I love earrings - my ears don't seem as sensitive to metal (ie: necklaces tend to give me hives). Plus I like big earrings with my short hair - helps people realize I'm a girl! haha! But lately I end up wearing the same earrings all the time cause they are the only matches I can find. Ugh. So I decided decided to tackle this mess.
If you don't already know, I have an unhealthy obsession with E6000 - no, I'm not getting high off the smell (not that I know of anyways) but I just love this stuff. It glues everything together! I have been using it to fix fabric, metal, plastic, wood, etc. We used it to glue the heads of these toys back on cause I was sick of them coming apart. Yes, Christy, it does take a few hours to harden, but that's what I like about it. You have time to play around and even change your mind. And you don't accidentally glue your fingers together (most of the time...)!
I used these IKEA chairs (pre-assembly) as weights to hold the metal tight against the wood while the E6000 set. Make sure and put down paper towels so the extra glue doesn't leak out and stick to your weights!
After I got the girls in their beds that night, the real fun began! I used the Velcro Command Strips to adhere it to my wall (another one of my obsessions). Then I dumped out all my jewelry and began sorting and untangling while watching TV! I was a great night!
The finished product! You know what I realized after they were all hung? I have space for more earrings - whoo hooo!!! *Jake rolling his eyes*
Now the plastic drawers can host my stud and post earrings without all the hookers! haha! I also bought this creepy hand thing to hold some of my rings. I LOVE IT! The weirdest part is that it's really close to the size of my hand, so it feels weird holding it. But I think it's super cool!

I think I've been doing earrings wrong....I own one pair. ONE. I'll have to work on that.
LOVE your cute board for organizing them!
You have a lot of jewelry! (You're welcome Jake)
Meg always wants to put earrings in my ears for me, but she always picks the big, flashy ones and I can't wear anything with any weight or sway to it. Maybe I should give you the cute ones I have but can't wear. You do still have room!
She told me the other day that she thinks she should be a designer when she grows up because designers put earrings in people's ears for a living.
BTW, I used super glue to glue together a cut on my thumb today. It's so great! All that annoying pain that comes from a wound that can't heal because it's in a spot that you use too much is gone. And it dried almost instantly!
