Days 8 & 9- earring display & guest book

I've got WAY to many earrings... and I love them all. I had a small display in our old apartment that was lace on the wall with the earrings hooked in. I wanted a more sophisticated look than just tacked up and I followed this general pin. It displays the earrings on lace in a frame, but I knew I had more to display than they demonstrated. I took the lace I already had and secured it to the back a new frame and completely removed the glass. (Warning: the back of the frame will be hard to position back in since the lace does add bulk) I fit 4 long strips of the lace and about 40 pairs of earrings in a 10x14 frame. Here's the photo of what I made:


We also had a few friends over to warm our home last night and wanted to do a unique guest book. I found this pin and thought it was perfect since we were having a wine/dessert party. Our friends helped by spacing out their signatures and think we will need to seal it at some point (so the sharpie doesn't rub off). But I think it came out quite well!


















Happy pinning :)
