Tolsby - A cheap and easy earring display
Materials: Tolsby frame, plastic cross-stitch canvas, scissors
Description: This hack is great for someone like me who loves to own a lot of earrings and need something to display them out neatly without costing too much.
The Tolsby is an excellent choice for earring display at home and for product selling, I have used this display for my local craft fairs to great effect.
It holds a decent amount of earrings for pierced ears, works well for studded and hook style ones of any size and shape.
1. Purchase a 7 count plastic cross-stitch canvas from a craft store. The '7 count' simply means there are 7 holes per inch on the canvas. I found that size the best to accommodate earrings.
2. Measure and cut out a 4x6 inch sheet from the canvas and slide into the frame. I managed to fill 4 Tolsby frames with the 1 plastic canvas I purchased.
3. Fill it with earrings!

This is great. I did a similar thing. I bought the Ikea Dokument metal mesh magazine organizer and set it on a lazy susan. Then I hung my earrings all over it and set put my bangle bracelets inside. I'm going to try hanging my necklaces on the other one using S hooks or paper clips.
ReplyDeleteVery nice idea. I made it for myself. It fits more than a dozen pairs of earrings if we use bath sides. My friends also loved and made it for themselves. It just costs abt a dollar, looks elegant and can be made in a minute.
ReplyDeletei did the same! I used some metal grid thingy and some fabric and it holds around 20 earrings =)
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to add that I saw this post earlier this year, went right out and got Tolsby and materials and made it too. It solved a problem I had with all my dangly earrings. Thanks Jen!
ReplyDeletePerfect idea- I have 2 Tolsby around, never used! Problem solved :O)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea! I love earrings and have plenty of them, so this is just what I needed. Really simple to do, but so lovely! My first Ikea hack :)
