Saw this idea on a website when looking for an earring holder for Catherine for Christmas:
It was simple to make and only took an hour. I used one of my old Osmonds LPs to make it!
How to make it:
1. Mark out the hanging holes and earring holes with a light coloured pencil.
2. Push a darning needle into a cork and light a candle.
3. Very carefully, heat the needle over the candle flame until red hot, and proceed to burn holes in the LP [take care at this stage]. You can also use a tiny drill bit and drill the holes instead.
4. When you've completed all the holes, you can either hang it up using ribbon, or place it on a plate stand.
It's a good idea to protect your table top while doing this. I used an old piece of wood.
Catherine was delighted with it and when Lissie saw it, she wanted one too
