This little project can be done by anyone. It’s a great way to store and display earrings. No more looking for lost earrings! You can see at a glance what you have. I’ve also put pins higher up on the shade. Wouldn’t it look great filled in with misc. jewelry. Maybe I ought to display Claudia’s pins on it.
I looks like it’s down to the base metal on the lamp. Or maybe it was supposed to be that way.
I loved the lamp for the detail. I knew when it was distressed that detail would pop.
The lamp isn’t tall. It’s just the right size for a bedroom or even a bathroom counter top.
Opps! No pictures of the base coat. I used Country White, two coats. Then I put a distressing glaze on it.
I took a large needle, maybe a tapestry needle, and poked holes around the edge of the shade. I made some of them further apart for bigger earrings.
Then just attach your earrings. Even if you don’t like the earrings to wear, they make a great fringe on the shade. The more colorful the earrings, the more colorful the “fringe”.

What a cool idea! I saw a tiny cabinet at Goodwill yesterday with a screen door that would have been perfect for earring and didn’t get it. Am still kicking myself. Also a huge wooden breadbox. But at $8 each at Goodwill, it seems expensive. I’ll bet the same thing at the Country House would be $58 or more! Penny wise, pound foolish! By the way, have been loving your projects for awhile, thank you for sharing! Maravonda
Ooo tres chic!
Love the finish on the base. Great job! Lezlee
Oh that is such a great idea! I’ve been going to make something for my daughter’s earrings *but more of a small gauge rabbit fence in a frame, but I’ll show her this.
What a cute idea! Love the paint on the base of the lamp!
what a fun idea, and a perfect lamp for a vanity area, I’m going to have to share this with my aunt, she would LOVE this!
That little lamp is adorable with all the pretty fringe. I think I may try this for my daughter. She always loses her jewelry. Thanks for sharing this nice project.
so clever
Great idea. That is such a cute base. Thanks for stopping by for a visit.
Good idea! Very charming! Looks great with the base! Love your blog!
Stop over…

This lamp is really cute, and I love the idea for keeping earrings on the shade!
What a great idea, I would have never thought of this. Thanks for sharing.

That is a great idea. If I find a small enough lamp to fit on my vanity, I may try this. I like things to be out in the open or I forget what I have.
Fabulous! what a cool way to turn an organizing idea into decor! Thanks for linking up!
It’s so useful, light and display. Great idea!
