Earrings Organizer Tutorial



Those who know me know that I don't wear much jewellery other than earrings. I've started a habit of buying at least a pair when I travel, and my family and friends would sometimes think of me when they see an interesting one and bring me a pair. (God bless them!)

After a while, they became difficult to organize. On the day I couldn't find my pair of pink Swarovski DH had bought me many years ago, I decided that I need an organizer solution STAT. Where else could one go for solution ideas other than Pinterest. 

The keyword "Earring organizer" gave a lot of results on Pinterest and it didn't take too long before I decided which one would suit me best. I knew I wanted something on the wall. Most of my earrings are open-hook and dangly. So the burlap covered frame would suit me best. 

First, I measured my wall area and decided the dimension I wanted my organizer to be. Then, I searched for the wooden inner frame, the same kind they use to stretch canvases for photos or for painting. In Indonesia, they are called 'spanram'. This was something I just learnt during my search. 

I ordered my frame from Rcf Wood +62 812-8626-5619. I sent them a message on WhatsApp, gave them my dimensions, transferred the payment, and waited. Less than a week later, the frame arrived at my door. 

It was time to assemble! 

What you need:
  • Inner frame (spanram)
  • Enough burlap to cover the frame 
  • Stapler and staples
  • 2 wood screws (metal screws for wood)
  • String for hanging
  • Decorative items (ribbons, glitters, or whatever you fancy)
Steps:

1. Lay out the burlap on your workspace and put the frame on top.


2. Fold over the burlap to cover the wood and staple in place. Be sure to stretch the burlap so it doesn't sag.

3.  Fix the 2 screws onto the inner side of the frame, depending on how you want to hang this later. The screws will be used to hold the string.



4. Tie the string onto the screws, make sure it's not too long but it doesn't have to be too stretched either.



5. Decorate however you like and voila!



Note: if you want to hang studs on this frame, insert a small piece of styrofoam at the bottom area. Here you can poke the studs on.

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Motykas in Asia 2016 Part 7 - West Java

One day after we arrived in Jakarta from Phuket, we went on a road trip to Bandung, West Java. We were on a roll! Hahaha. Our first destination was the White Crater, a beautiful place located in Ciwidey, outside Bandung.  We left our home at around 7 am and arrived at the crater at almost noon. It was a loooong drive. Nonetheless, the view was breathtaking. It was a bit chilly up there, even the Winnipegers pulled out their jackets. :D The crater was pale green with strong sulphur smell, they recommend a maximum of 15 minutes at the bottom. Around the crater were serene looking tree barks with little or no leaves. During a certain time of the day, there would usually be fog coming down over the crater but we didn't get to see it. We spent about an hour at the crater and we moved on to the Rancabali Tea Plantation about 3 km away for some pictures. Miss Kiki was so...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...
