    Wow. That jewelry frame makes me wish I had pierced ears and fabulous earrings! It is so pretty to look at, so the functionality is such a bonus! HA! I bet it work for your favorite buttons and broaches as well!!! I LOVED the Breakfast at Tiffany's shout out! You're so fabulous!

    Viva La Ruthless - I wish I had a monitor big enough to make a stencil for my big ugly wall! Arg! Awesome job DIY and VLR!!! I'm already excited about next week!

    Very cool earring hanger. And congrats to Viva La Ruthless!

  • KellesBelles wrote on June 17, 2:58 pm

    Meg, only you can turn a jewelry organizer into a beautiful piece of art! I swear it looked more like decor than something to hold your earrings.

    Great episode! Oh, and you looked fabulous dressed all like Audrey Hepburn!

    Thanks so much Kelles Belles! Keep your eyes peeled on tomorrow's episode for something YOU made beautiful.

    Luv luv luv your ideas, totally cool and vintage rox but my ears aren't peirced so i use clip on earings, so any suggestions on how to store them?

  • aymelovestrees wrote in reply on June 18, 5:19 pm

    Same idea, different execution. Find your vintage frame, some tine eye-hooks and more ribbon or piano wire. Screw the eye hooks into the frame so the eyes face inward. String thread or wire in mulitple tiers down the inside of the frame. Hang as Meg did. Clip your earring to the wires or ribbons. Viola!

    I absolutely love the screen and the painted tree branch idea! I plan to create one and hang it over my full body mirror. That way I'll never forget my jewlery again!

  • Amie Shaw (guest) wrote on June 17, 6:50 pm

    This is such a great idea, now I have to untangle all of my jewelry and get organized. Thanks Meg, you rock!

    meg, no lie, i think i'm gonna have seizure. i was featured TWICE on the show!? is that a world record!? i'm like the happiest person that ever lived right now! lol

  • shannon (guest) wrote on June 17, 10:35 pm

    this is an awesome idea! i didn't have and money to buy screen, but i used some thick panty-hose and stretched it behind the frame.

    On a different post I had said "I think It would be cool if they went to someones garage sale and then revamped the stuff they got.
    Even with kiddie stuff too. *remember us moms
    we want to DIY educate our kiddies from the start!! So they love
    what they got or revamp it!!* How about some summer DIY for those
    bored kiddies that are home for summer vacation. Projects??"
    Do you have any kiddie Ideas?
    Love your site!

  • Sally (guest) wrote on June 18, 11:00 am

    YOU look fabulous!!!!!!!!! Also, great cuff on your wrist... Love the earring frame!

  • whit wrote on June 18, 11:42 am

    My jewelry is always a big old mess and it takes forever sometimes to untangle what I want. So I definitely want to do this. This is probably a stupid question, but where can I get the screen?

  • Barbara (guest) wrote on June 18, 11:52 am

    Oh, Holly, Holly, Holly.....you are so go-lightfully delightful!

  • aymelovestrees wrote on June 18, 5:21 pm

    My project was in an episode of DIY! Three cheers for that, and three more for Meg, who's too freakin' cute for words.

  • waffle (guest) wrote on June 18, 5:36 pm

    I love your Audrey Hepburn-ness!

  • pam munro (guest) wrote on June 18, 6:11 pm

    Find the screen idea interesting - but no wall space! (And don't have pierced ears, either...)


    I have such a large vintage collection that I put the items in several containers - Just got a little suitcase box that came with wine in it - and then I have bags filled with jewelry inside - also recycling a velvet box that came with candy in it for small pieces. I keep my watch and everyday bracelets in a basket next to my computer, as I take them off when I come home. And my everyday necklaces are in a decorative glass bowl on the counter top of my bathroom - There is a funky ring holder for holding my rings, etc. when I take a long hot bath. It helps to organize so many pieces by function - that is - one box for earrings, another for pins, another for bracelets, necklaces and so on. I have strung up some decorative necklaces on a towel bar I don't use in the bathroom, along with my many headbands. Because I have good visual memory, I usually don't have that hard a time finding anything & it's fun to go through my collection to find just the right piece.

  • Amy (guest) wrote on June 18, 6:37 pm

    Hey i love the last idea of using a tree branch for necklaces, how about getting a couple of them and attaching them to the wall so it looks like they are growing out of the wall! imagine them either natural or all different colors! im gona do it!

    thank you, you guys are my craft outlet :)

  • peach (guest) wrote on June 18, 6:50 pm

    Oh snap!!! That was amazing!!! I need that and I am absolutely making one of those screens. I have more jewelry then I know what to do with. Loved your shout out to a classic beauty. You look GORGEOUS!!!

  • elbow&electra (guest) wrote on June 18, 6:50 pm

    Loved it! So shabby chic cool in a really good way! Martha would be so proud!

  • cfornia wrote on June 19, 1:52 am

  • Meg wrote in reply on June 23, 7:06 pm

    We are working on another contest. I don't know if we will do another toolbox contest yet, but will keep you posted! Thanks so much for watching the show, and keep on nesting!

  • I LOVE DIY wrote on June 19, 12:56 pm

    This is JUST what I needed. THANK YOU! So cool.

  • IndieDesigner wrote on June 19, 12:57 pm

    FABULOUS style and grace, and fantastic earring holder. Congratulations to the winner. What a fun contest.

  • Michelle* wrote on June 19, 12:59 pm

    I am totally addicted to this show. I love every single episode so much.

  • Marlene Gelfand (guest) wrote on June 19, 4:19 pm

    You had the person who won the "hot pink tool box" but, What did they make? What did it look like when it was done? I am a very elementary maker of things, lacking most of the skills to do the stuff that I love to watch and learn, on your website. I am not retarded, or mentally handicapped, I just never had anyone close to me who had the mind of for needlework and crafts. Wen I was watching what could be the winning prize, I was very disappointed because,I could not follow them, nor do I see the finished product. Some of the things you have shown from what I had seen looked so much better to whatever the winner was doing.

  • SneekyLily wrote in reply on June 21, 10:41 am

    I second Marlene: What did it look like when it was done???

    & to Maryj; can you give some detail what it looks like? I made my own veil, & it was easy.

    xox 4 Meg

  • maryj wrote on June 19, 6:29 pm

    WoW!!! thats a lot of great stuff.
    But i really need help.
    I'm getting married and i wanted to make
    my own veil but i cant figure out how to make it.
    I'm trying to make a bridcage veil.
    Can you PLEASE help me?!

  • Andy Christ wrote on June 22, 7:11 pm

    HEy!.i wanted to know how to make a slouchy beret like the ones that the Olsen twins wear.

  • misssewthernbelle wrote on June 22, 9:39 pm

    sewthern belle here (had to change my email and create a new account!) Great Audrey Hepburn look Meg. Now all you need to do is grab a cheese danish and munch on it forlornly while you windowshop at Tiffany's.

  • Lex_is_cool (guest) wrote on June 25, 8:50 pm

    this episode is uber awesoem another great idea for jewerly is to put them in wine and martini glasses! they look way sexy and many fun ways to arrange them!

  • Brigette (guest) wrote on June 28, 9:25 pm

    Hey, another good idea is to find the old Barbies from when you were a kid that you have stashed away in your attic and use them to hold onto your jewelry. :)

  • Lisa (guest) wrote on June 30, 3:33 pm

    you could also you lace in place of the screen with the frame

  • LacinUpCuffs wrote on July 23, 10:20 pm

    I love the eye mask! and great idea with the frame! all bling has to go somewhere!

  • Rock4Liffe89078 wrote on August 24, 2:46 am

    i totally love how every little detail is recycled and vintage it always gives me a reminder that i need to go to goodwill!
