Project Pinterest: Cheese Grater Earring Holder



Project Pinterest


Hello and welcome to the first installment of Project Pinterest,
hosted by myself along with the super awesome and funny Sarah of It's on the Tip of My Tongue!

We are addicted to Pinterest.
And we know we're not alone!!

But what happens to so many of us?
We get stuck in a rut of pinning thousands of awesome things, and then we never get around to making or recreating them.

That's what Project Pinterest is all about; motivating you to do those crafts, poses, recipes, whatever...and then share it with the world.

For my first project I upcycled an old cheese grater into an earring holder.
It's perfect, really.
And I half suspect this gadget's true purpose was to display funky jewelry.

My costs were as follows...
Cheese Grater - $0  {I actually had an old one on hand!}
Krylon Spray Paint in glossy Blue Ocean Breeze - $6  {approximately}

Grand Total: $6.00!

  1. That is great Katie! I see cheese graters like this at thrift stores all of the time. Looks like the perfect way to store and display earrings, especially since I recently got my ears pierced again!

  6. OK... so you don't sand down those sharp edges or anything? I thought of doing this for my daughter when I saw you posted it, but I'd be worried about the sharp edges. But it would be so cute in her room...

    Maybe I'll stick with a screen in a frame.
