Let’s dive into some easy, stylish, and über-customizable DIY earring display ideas.

Why DIY? The Benefits of Making an Earring Display Yourself

Before any little crafting, let’s talk about why you should make your very own earring display in the first place.

• Your Style, Your Rules: Making your own earring display means you get to choose precisely how it’s going to look and work. Want it boho-chic? Done. Sleek and modern? Easy as pie. You’re the boss.
• Spare Some Cash: In all honesty, the majority of DIY projects are made from stuff lying around the house or easily found in any thrift store. That means more cash in your pocket for—you guessed it—more earrings! 
• Eco-Friendly Vibes: Creating something with these things and turning them into a suitable earring display is, therefore, a good way of not adding to the waste but giving a new life to things that otherwise might find their way to landfills.
• That Feel-Good Moment: Having looked at a completed project and saying, ‘Yeah, I did that,’ offers special sentimentality when you know you made it with your own two hands. You know that feeling of being patted on the back nonstop every time you wear a new pair of earrings? Because you will!

Feel inspired? Good! Now, let’s hop into the fun stuff—making your very own DIY earring display.

1. The Classic Framed Earring Display: Chic and Simple

One of the easiest and most popular DIY earring display creations involves using an old picture frame. Think of it like a reincarnation of sorts for something that might have otherwise ended up in a dusty landfill, and the best part? It is crazy easy to do.

What You’ll Need:

1. An old picture frame—raid your attic, or hit up a thrift store
2. Lace, mesh, or even chicken wire—whatever you feel like looks cool
3. A staple gun or some serious glue
4. Paint, if you want to add a bit of color
5. Optional: Some decorative hooks to give it a little style

How to Do It:

• Pick Your Frame: Grab a frame that’s your style. Plain? Fancy? Doesn’t matter—You can always doll it up later.
• Get Rid of the Glass: Take out the glass and back of the frame. You’ll only be using the frame itself for this project.
• Add the Backing: Cut a piece of lace, mesh, or chicken wire that will fit the interior dimension of the frame. Attach it to the back with your staple gun or with glue. Make sure that it is taut so that your earrings dangle nicely.
• Painting time: If you want to change your frame’s color, do so now. A quick coat of paint really works wonders.
• Hang it up: Let everything dry and set; then you can hang it on the wall or prop it on your dresser. Hook your earrings through the lace or mesh, and voilà!

This can work beautifully in a vintage or shabby chic look; however, it’s versatile enough to be suitable for almost any room in your home—from your bedroom right down to the bathroom.

2. Earring Tree: Bringing the Outdoors In

If you love everything that is nature-inspired, bring a little outdoors inside—why not? This project’s outcome, an earring tree, will have you falling head over heels; what is there not to like about this extremely whimsical display to show off your earrings in a beautiful yet functional way?

What You’ll Need:

1. A strong branch, with lots of little offshoots
2. A small vase, or even a pot
3. Pebbles, sand, or floral foam, to keep the branch in place
4. Optional: some spray paint if you’d like to color your branch
5. Optional: ribbon, or some other kind of string, for decoration

How to Do It:

• Find Your Branch: Go outside and find a branch that really talks to you. This would be one with lots of little offshoots that can be used for hanging your earrings.
• Clean It Up: Give your branch a good clean. Trim off bits you don’t want, and if it is a bit damp, let it dry out.
• Optional: Paint It: If you want it to really shine, give the branch a coat of spray paint. White or gold would look nice, as would any other bright color.
• Stabilise: Place the branch in your vase or pot and fill pebbles, sand, or floral foam at the bottom to hold it in place.
• Decorate: You can further beautify your branch by wrapping a ribbon or a string on it. Otherwise, just leave it if that will do.
• Hang Your Earrings: The next thing now will be to hang your earrings from the smaller branches. Then you are all done!

An earring tree brings some bit of nature into a room and is good when you want to make that bold statement, especially if your style is more bohemian or rustic.

3. The Earring Display Board: For the Organized Collector

If your earring collection is more “jewelry store” than “just a few pairs,” you might need something a bit more substantial. A DIY earring display board does the trick to keep a large collection organized while at the same time having everything within reach.

What You Will Need:

• Corkboard or foam board
• Fabric; this is optional for a finished look
• Thumbtacks, pushpins, or small nails
• Ruler and a pencil for planning
• Hot glue gun
• Frame; this is optional but can give it a nice finished look

How to Do It:

• Get your board ready: Start out with a corkboard or foam board. Use your hot glue gun to fabric cover it if you’d like to add a little color or texture.
• Plan out the layout: Lightly mark with a ruler and a pencil where you want the hooks or pins. Space them out equally apart so that your earrings don’t crowd each other.
• Add Your Hooks: Put a thumbtack, pushpin, or small nail at each mark. These will be the holders for your earrings.
• Optional: Frame It: To give it a neater appearance, you can put the board inside a picture frame.
• Organize Your Earrings: Hang your earrings on the hooks, sorting them by color, style, or however you will want them sorted.

This display board is perfect for all those people who love to be organized and in control of clutter. It’s also very easy to personalize or add to with your growing collection.
