My collection of earrings has grown. I would like a nice idea for hanging/displaying them so I don't have to rummage through them to make a choice for the day. Just wondered if anyone has any ideas that would be creative, simple and easy? Looking forward to your input. Can involve quilting or not... just not plastic!

I made a ear ring holder using a large embordery hoop and covered it with satin and then a nice lace and just hang your ear rings in the lace. I have a picture, but can't figure out how to post it.. I made several and gave them my family and friends.

Make an earring tree. Find a fallen tree branch with lots of interesting twiggy bits - go nuts with spray paint, stick it in a earthenware pot with plaster of paris (or similar) to keep it upright and hang your earrings/beads on it. For earrings with posts make a little hanging "card" to poke them into to secure. If you don't have access to a real tree get creative with some wire and make your own.

Don't keep any jewelry out in the elements, it should always be in an enclosed container. The air and dust will make the pieces turn ugly and you will find yourself cleaning jewelry on a monthly basis, any that's out in the open. Takes a lot of time. Costume jewelry 'metals' turn nasty and fancy necklaces get laced with dust. Not a fan of this idea as you can see, it's a been there done that situation.
