EARRING HOLDER-ROLL TIDE

I have been wanting to make something to hold my earrings.  They seem to just end up in a pile on my bathroom counter and I am always missing 1 of them.  I had some scrap burlap let over from making burlap footballs.  Old frame from Thrift Store (.50), hounds tooth duck tape.  

I painted the frame black, then over laid it with crimson.  I put a piece of burlap over some cardboard for the backing.  I painted the "A", put the hounds tooth duck tape flower on it, a ribbon to hang and Lookie Lookie.  

I have an earring holder.  

What have you made earring holders out of?

Burlap Footballs

Last week, a friend at work ask if I could make her a burlap football.  Even though I had never made one, I said "Sure". Friday night I got on line and found several tutorials.  I made my first one on Saturday.  I am not going to post that photo because we will call it a learning experience.   I woke up this morning with a great idea on how I was going to make them.  My Mom is an LSU fan so I made one for her also.

The tutorial said to staple the front to the back and I DID NOT LIKE that.  I decided to stitch the front to the back with crochet yarn.  Once I cut the burlap, I painted the front part of the footballs with acrylic paint.  Once they dried, I started stitching the front to the back.  When I was almost complete, I stuffed them with left over plastic grocery bags. (Great way to recycle). 

I made 3 Alabama footballs and 1 LSU football (for my MOM because I Love her)

This is how I spent my Sunday afternoon.  

Have a great week!!!
