DIY: Ear Pin

 Need some last minute New Year's Eve jewels, or something simple and pretty to start the new year off right? Well, nothing could be easier than an ear pin. They may be a little confusing at first: as in, "how does that thing even go in your ear?" But, once you get the hang of them you'll want to make a million.

Some Inspiration: Stud Earrings

I have a bad habit of looking for things to make into stud earring wherever I go. They are one of my favorite things to make, and so easy that anyone can! Here are some selections from my massive collection to inspire you to get gluing.

DIY: Fabric Flower Bud Earrings

I'll tell you something a lot of people probably don't know or even notice about me. I don't have my ears pierced. I also don't have plans to get them pierced any time soon. This is the place where you stare at the screen and go What! How can someone who makes jewelery not even wear one of the most essential pieces? I don't really know. Well for one thing the whole word 'pierced', like with a needle, doesn't really sit well with me. I've survived this long without pierced ears, why change that.

One thing I do know is that not having pierced ears does not stop me from making a whole load of earrings. Mainly to sell, but also for my sister and mother. So now that it's pretty much summer (Yay sunshine, finally), the flowers are starting to bloom. Here I've made some cute earrings inspired by flower buds.

Lets Start Something New With Something Old

Hello world! Lets kick it right off with a DIY. I was looking through the (large) pile of vintage jewelery I have collected, much of it given to me by my grandmother. I found a pair of crystal clip-on earrings that I have been wanting to do something with for a while. This idea sort of came out of nowhere, but it worked.
