What girl doesn’t love earrings!?!? If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with them, and I needed a way to organize them BADLY! So, I came across this idea from a friend and decided it would make the perfect gift for friends and family. The best part? It’s pretty darn cheap. In fact, you can decide how big you want to make it and that will dictate the price. For this HUGE one {yep it’s 4 feet tall and 2 feet wide}, the supplies cost less than $20.00, but if you want to make a smaller version, your cost would go down significantly.
Supplies list: To make this project, you need:
Pegboard from Home Depot. Have them cut it for you if you need it cut a certain size. I knew I wanted to make several of these bad boys, so I bought a huge 4X8 foot sheet. But, they sell peg boards in all sizes at most hardware stores. Tell the Home Depot folks to be precise.
Molding to go around the outside of the peg board. You can choose whatever molding you want, but just know that some are more expensive than others. So, this can affect the overall price of your project.
Two 1X2s to go on the back of the board. This helps bring the board away from the wall so that your earrings will hang nicely.
Wood glue
Paint {use some that you have on hand to save $$) You don’t need much.
Mounting Hardware
And about 100 pairs of earrings. Ha! I thought I had a lot of earrings, but I obviously need to buy a BUNCH more to fill up my earring holder now. Oh, darn! {wink, wink}
Tools needed:
Miter saw
and Brad nailer with two sizes of nails
For my instructions, I am going to assume that you are making an earring holder that is exactly the same size as mine {24” wide and 48” tall}, if you adjust the size of your board, obviously my measurements will do you no good.
Step1: Start off by cutting your 1X2s. You need 2 that are 24 inches wide with 45 degree angles and two that are 48 inches wide with 45 degree angles. Your longer measurement should be on the outside your boards. See the illustration to see what I mean. 
I hope you like it!!
If you are visiting All Things Thrifty for the first time I would love it if you would take a look around! I hope you find something that you like while you are visiting!
Great idea. Throughout my life, I keep losing my earrings, so I have only two pairs left out of what must have been dozens, but it is a great idea.
Love it! Looks great
Definitely going on my list of things to make!
Ugh… LOVE Krylon Jade. Sooooo creamy!
Great idea…I am going to make one for my daughter for Christmas. One question…what did you do for studs. She has a lot of them so I was wondering what your idea was to keep those organized. Thank you
Both my daughter and I could totally use one of these for Christmas, great project!

Maloney Fam, If you look close, there is a ribbon at the bottom that holds all the studs. You just thread the ribbon through the holes and tie a knot in the back.
I am the same! My husband ALWAYS gives me a hard time because I lose earrings so much. So, I'm hoping this will stop the trend of losing earrings!
Thanks Katie!
That is a HUGE earring holder. You really must have A LOT. I like the way the board came out though! Really cool idea!
Thank you…I should have known it would be something simple and not time consuming
You have great style AND are so creative! I love stopping by to see what you have come up with. GREAT ideas!
What is the thing that is holding your necklaces? Where did you get it?

I'm not sure of the exact name but they can be purchased at Home Depot. They are located in the hardware section. Hope this helps!
