You'll never guess what this cool, colorful loop-de-loop DIY earring holder is made from, so we'll just go ahead and spill the beans up front: a collection of raw embroidery hoops! Keep scrolling for our step-by-step tutorial, which details how to create your own version of our DIY earring holder using a handful of basic craft supplies in addition to those handy hoops. What colors would you use on your organizer?
Mix Acrylic Paint in a Plastic Paint Palette to achieve three different colors. Use a Foam Brush to paint each Small, Medium, and Large Embroidery Hoop a separate color.
Use scissors to cut individual lengths of Craft Wire that will stretch across the width of the embroidery hoops. Cut the wire a little long so that there is an excess of wire 1-2 inches on either end.
Wrap the cut lengths of wire around the inner rings of the small and medium embroidery hoops. Slip the inner rings inside the outer rings of all three embroidery hoops, and tighten the brackets to cinch them up. Then, glue the embroidery hoops to each other on one end to create the loop-de-loop design pictured here.
Allow the glue to fully cure for 12-24 hours before handling. Finish by hanging the hooped organizer on the wall using a nail, and load it up with your favorite earrings.
