What is this? A staple gun. A pile of vintage lace. A square artist canvas covered with quilting fabric. (Badly. The front looks OK, but you should see the mess I made of the back! Or rather, you aren't going to see!!) I bought the staple gun but the rest comes from the stash. I have been collecting bits of lace for yonks, and the fabric covered canvas dates from TAFE days when it was going to be used for something but wasn't ultimately.
After much stapling. Some of the lace isn't dead straight, but you will see in the next picture that doesn't matter too much. My dog doesn't like the sound of the staple gun, apparently :(
A new display thing for my earrings! (Err, some of my earrings. You can't see the three necklace boxes full of studs and non-hook hanging ones).
Not an original idea. I saw a similar thing on Pinterest, using an empty frame with lace across, but I didn't have a suitable frame, and I did have the canvas, and I am trying to shop from my stash when possible these days.

Look wonderful. You have some gorgeous earrings!
the display is an artwork in itself
fantastic! as you say, good to use things from your stash, fun to try something new (and it looks fab from the front), and a lovely way to store/display your earrings
I did wonder what you were going to do, that's a great idea. Some dogs don't like certain noises, Gilly likes the vacuum cleaner OK, but if I even reach toward the hair-dryer, she's off like a shot.
Now that's a GREAT idea! A great use for lace, and nifty storage for your earrings, brilliant! Vanessa xxx
Great use of materials and it's very pretty, too. May have to steal that idea if I do any shows next year!
this is gorgeous and don't worry about the homework...I'm in a good mood!!!
and I have also ran out of detention slips!!!
Ooh that looks fab! :)
That is a great idea!1 Would be awesome for my little girls hair clips too.

A very neat way to keep your earrings!
