i made these


Today is an earring making kind of day. I made the ones above out of left over pieces I had in my supplies box. Almost all pieces were purchased from Etsy. My favorite website of life. The hoops around the roses on the right pair were purchased on Queen street. They have some great prices at stones and findings on Queen street east. Check it out!


Finished making my button earrings. I have a jar full of gold and silver buttons so I figured why not make some earrings. All I used were some flat earring posts, a glue gun, cutting pliers, and buttons!

This is the style of button I was working with. I had to cut off the thread hole in the back.

Once I cut the back off button the center piece on the front falls out. So I used my glue gun to stick it right back on there! Once that dries I glue the earring post to the back of the button.
I also use a somewhat abrasive brush when I'm done to get any little glue pieces off.
Then voila, you have your button earrings! So easy, so addictive

Here's a few other pairs of button I made today too!
