My MIA Maids made this jewelry hanger on a class activity night. There are tons of different takes on this idea on Pinterest. The girls loved them and had a good time making them. I had several old frames and got a couple more at the thrift store. You can always have the girls bring one from home. I purchased the screen door mesh and the cup hooks at the hardware store. I was excited to find the mesh at about $5 for a small roll. We got right to work painting the frames. My YW are of the opinion that if a little paint is good, lots of paint must be better so we had to have time for them to dry before we could place the screening and embellishments. I had the craft paint and the flowers at home. The mesh is attached to the back with staples and we added some wire for hanging. It was about a 1 1/2 - 2 hr project (counting drying time). If I had been wise, I would have spray painted the frames prior to their painting their individual designs because some of the paint on my "demo" peeled off. Next time. It was a kick to see their personalities come out in their designs and choice of colors. We talked and had cookies. It was a fun night.
