Okay, so I LOVE all of the fun Bits and Pieces in the Scraps & Ink Crafts shop, and my daughter loves them too… and we love them enough to want to wear them! I had a great time turning some of these cute embellishments into earrings!
It was so easy to turn the Mini Bits into earrings: I simply glued flat pad earring studs to the backs! I used super strong E6000 glue and made sure to let it set for at least 24 hours.
It was almost as easy to turn the Mouse Shakers and Small Padded Appliques into adorable dangly earrings!
I used my 1/8″ single hole punch to cut a hole at the top of the mouse head between the ears, then I set coordinating eyelets in each of those holes.
In order to allow the mouse heads to dangle freely, I attached a 1/4″ jump ring through the eyelet, then used a 1/8″ jump ring to link it to the earring hook.
These are seriously addictive to make, and you can bet that I’ll be making more as soon as I get myself some more jewelry findings!
