Bouquets of flowers come wonderfully wrapped in beautiful (recycled) paper or in nets and I don't have the heart to throw them away so I keep them for the kids (or me) to use in some of their projects. This time I found a great way to reuse such pieces by making an earring display loop.
This is what I did. First I chose the paper I wanted to work with. I chose a netted roll of paper which is sturdy and strong, a fragile looking, light peach paper that proved to be easily tearable and an embroidery loop.
I marked the net and cut out a circle...
The netted paper was sturdy enough to resist the stress of the load but since its color was too purple for my taste so I covered it with the lighter paper.
this is such a lovely idea! and those earings are indeed magnifiques!
