Dainty Display

Last weekend I was in dire need of some solo retail therapy... and one of my favorite past times is scavenging the local flea market for deals and treasures. I found a plastic mirror frame (missing the glass) with the look of wicker, but with more sturdiness. I had an idea how to re-purpose it, and for one measly dollar, I could afford the gamble if it didn't turn out right. I am pleased to announce, it turned out cute!
 
scrubbed clean and given a fresh coat of ivory color
 
used a hot glue gun and leftover burlap to cover the inside section
 
added lace lining. The top row dried crooked, but gives it character, right?

reassembled both pieces securing with screws


the end result... a dainty earring display!
