Wooden Stud Earring Holders

Cut a rectangular piece of wood that measures 4,1/2" x 5." Then, using a pencil, mark the halfway point along the top and draw two lines down to create a triangle shape.

Lightly drag your X-acto knife along the traced lines, using the ruler as a guide. Continue gently scoring the wood several times until it cuts through.

Cut three pieces of wood for the sides and bottom measuring roughly 1" x 5." You will need to subtract 1mm of wood from two sides so they can tuck into the other side without excess wood sticking out.

Use super glue to adhere the sides to the back, in a butt joint. (Tip: A butt joint is when two surfaces are abutting at right angles to form a corner.)

For the earring holes, roughly mark 1/2" sections along the sides of the triangle, then draw a straight line through, connecting the sides. Using the straight line as a guide, line up your ruler and mark 1/2" sections where the earring holes will go.

Use a 1/16 size drill bit to drill where you marked earring holes — most standard stud earrings will fit that hole size.

Paint the wood or leave it all natural, as desired.
