Are you trying to find a present for your sister or your best friend?
Then this tutorial might help you.
In the Vintage Decoration - post we already showed you this cute and convenient equipment. In this post we'll show you how to make this earring holder by yourself.
That's what you need:
a canvas
a brush
brown/beige colour

a pair of scissors
liquid glue
cardboard (in a light colour, if possible)

a picture of a book lying on its back

perhaps: spray varnish
Step 1
Apply diluted colour on the canvas...

...and wait until everything is well dried...
Step 2
Cut out the pictures.
Step 3
Rip off the corners of the paper with the quote.
'Books are flying carpets in the realm of fancy.'
Step 4
Make a box out of the cardboard. It should be as big as the picture of the lying book which you should have cut out before.
Step 5
Glue the lying book on the front of the box.
Step 6
After that, glue the cut out books on the canvas.
Step 7
For a better support, just spray on some transparent spray varnish and allow it to dry.
Step 8
You're almost finished!
Just bond the box on the canvas using double-sided tape. Then you stick little holes in the canvas with a sharp object e.g. a pin. (just where you want the pricks for the earrings to be)
