Hi, friends-
If you’ve been following my blog for any amount of time at all, you know that I have a deep love for Dollar Tree. I find the BEST things there, and of course they’re always things that I never knew I needed before.
Things like this splatter screen that I found in the kitchen section.
What in the world do you do with this thing in the kitchen? It has a mesh screen, so I don’t really understand how it’s supposed to prevent splattering, but whatever – I didn’t buy it for the kitchen anyway.
Nope. From the second I laid eyes on it, I thought EARRING ORGANIZER!
See, I have a collection of some awesome dangle earrings that I used to wear on nights out. Since my nights out now usually consist of “Kids Eat Free Night” at [insert local brewpub name here], I don’t wear my fun earrings all that much anymore. They sit in my jewelry box and tangle themselves up with my more practical earrings, which is super annoying.
So, I decided they need to be segregated and I made this special place for them – all from my Dollar Tree splatter screen!
Easiest project EVER. I know I’ve said it before, but this time it is the truth. All you need is:
- splatter screen
- spray paint
- ribbon
Step One
Spray paint your splatter screen. (Learn from my mistake – make sure the screen part isn’t touching whatever you’re painting on, as the paint may pool and form smudges on your screen.)
Step Two
Add some ribbon to the top of the splatter screen for a cute touch.
Step Three
Put your earrings through the mesh and hang up your new earring organizer.
SEE? I told you it was the easiest project ever.

This is super cute! And I agree, I don’t think it would do a very good job decreasing splatters… Thanks for linking up with me and my lovely co-hosts at Pin Worthy Wednesday! I’ve pinned your post!
Great idea! A much better solution then being tangled in a jewelry box. Thanks for sharing with us at Your Designs This Time.

SO creative!
Thanks for linking up to YDTT! Featuring this great idea today! 🙂 Happy Monday!
I love this idea! I’m featuring you today at Mabey She Made It
I love this idea! But the screens actually do work pretty well to prevent splatters. Only problem is, mine rusted pretty quickly due to moisture build-up, and then when that moisture leaked into my spaghetti sauce, I ended up with metal-flavored sauce!
I just found you today and I love you already! I have found several ideas in a short time.
