Earrings

It is probably not news to anyone that I have a TON of scrapbook stuff.  Much to Shawn's dismay.  I have been trying to be better about using it rather than hoarding it like I have been doing.  I was going through some of my brads the other day and had an idea.

In the jewelry section at Hobby Lobby they sell a ton of supplies for different types of jewelry.  I had heard about these studs on another blog and found the size I needed.  I went with the smaller sized circle (6MM Flat Post).  I would like to add that I just dug through my garbage can to find the packaging so that I could tell you the size!  That is what I like to call dedication.  They come in a pack of 36 (18 pairs of earrings, unless you have tragically lost a lobe, to which I am sorry) for $2.99.  I, of course, went when they were half off and got them for $1.50.  Using a pair of scissors, snip off the posts of the brad that you push through the paper.  Not really sure if they have a name or not.  It is really easy to clip them off and some brads, like the flowers, just pop off.  Using E-6000 place a small amount of glue to the post of your earring and then attach it to the back of the brad.  I allowed mine to dry for at least 24 hours before I messed around with them.

The possibilities are endless.  I have even seen some people do this with buttons.  Now, I just need to get Tana's ear pierced!
