Origami Folded Earring Caddy

If you are looking for a stylish, practical, easy, and economical way to store your earrings,  then the Origami Earring Caddy is the way to go!  You can make this in less than 2 hours.  I guarantee you won't make just one!  This will be a well received gift for any occasion.  A couple of pieces of cloth, drinking straw, embellishments, folding techniques and a small amount of sewing or gluing will have this project singing.  You could make this with just paper if you wanted to.  I like to try different materials for different looks.

Step 1 Supplies

You will need:

2  Pieces of contrasting fabric scraps,  10X10.
2 Pieces iron on interfacing measuring the same size as the cloth,  napkins,  or hankies you will be using.   
1 Plastic drinking straw. 
1 Needle and matching thread or glue (optional.)  It just makes it stronger but it is not necessary. 
Sewing machine  if you are sewing like I did. Again this is optional.  I wanted a more finished look.   It can be glued.
Embellishments I made a yo-yo and added a button.

Ruler.
Scissors
Pen
Pins optional 
Iron and ironing board



 

Please note:  I think you could make these out of paper, napkins, or hankies.  The interfacing adds body to the fabric and makes it firmer.
