Button Earrings

Can I show you another thing I got at Daiso?

Aren't they hideously ugly? But, they were only $1 and it would cost me a lot more than that to go to the craft store in our city to get earring making equipment.

Now, I want to tell you about Korean earrings first. They are all bling. And when I say bling, i mean BLING BLING

I don't think I've seen a pair yet that aren't covered in rhinestones or big and gaudy like these.

But... uh... bling is not me. Can you tell?

So I wanted to make something a little less showy.

I got the idea to make button earrings from my GREAT friend Lindsey. She is probably one of the most creative people I have ever met. She made herself a pair of button earrings and I've been jealous ever since.

So......

TADA!

Pretty cute, no?

Soooo much better than those crosses (not that I have anything against crosses.... just those ones : ) )

Here's my favorite part. I don't really want to have to buy new hooks every time I want new earrings. So I attached a small piece of elastic thread to the earring so that I can loop it onto the hook and have interchangeable earrings. Sweet!

Thanks for stopping by!
