An Earring Tree

The Tree with Ear Rings
When I first started visiting this site I saw an interesting display that had been made as a display for pendants.
Unfortunately I don’t remember the name of the individual who made the display but I owe her a big “Thank You” for getting me energized to try something similar.
The Tree
The supplies for this version were not too expensive. The pot and rocks are from a 99cent store, the floral wire and tape are from JoAnn’s and the plaster of Paris is from a local home improvement store.
Currently I use my Earring Tree at the local farmers market. The earrings have wonderful movement in the breeze and are a nice attention getter. In the past I’ve also used the trees for center pieces at home parties.

Just LOVE IT!!! Thanks so much for sharing this idea and making me remember that I used to do floral design. I have a bunch of wire and black wrapping tape hanging around and would like to try my hand at your great idea!!!

I made a similar tree, but using the painted twigs with LED’s on them (used in interior decor). Not only are they inexpensive (about $12 a bunch) but the LED’s are battery operated, so can be used without power points. I mixed them with twigs taken from gum trees (leaves attached) that I had sprayed with lacquer. I got plots of positive comments from people about how great it looked.

Love it – how do I make one?

Love your earring tree! All of mine are clip-ons so I’ve been searching for a solution that will work. I Had a few questions about how it’s made – is the basis an actual tree branch or is it just wire wrapped in florist’s tape?
