It was really easy. I just sanded and painted the frame until I got the look I wanted, then took out the plastic that would go over the picture and stretched fabric and netting across the frame backing. The background fabric is just a fat quarter that's sand colored, and the main fabric is this netting kind of stuff that was with the nautical fabrics at JoAnns. I initially wanted to do lace, but I thought the netting worked a little better with the nautical/seaside kinda theme I was going for. For the posts at the bottom, I cut up a dowel and drilled holes to slide them into.
Like I said,really easy.
And here it is in action. I haven't put many of my earrings on it yet but still. Also the posts don't give quite enough space for my rings/bracelets so I'm thinking of either adding more posts or maybe making a smaller, matching piece to hang beside this one for additional storage. We'll see.
At any rate, I'm really, really happy with how it turned out!
