Tips & Warnings
Use the wall-mounted earring holder to hold hair clips and decorative pins, too.
Create decorative wall art by mounting the belt on a piece of plywood painted to match. Drill a hole near the top of the wood and use a thick piece of ribbon as a hanger.
Choose a cloth belt for this project, made of ribbon or canvas. Leather is too thick for earrings to poke through.
