DIY Find

There are a lot of great blogs out there with some amazing DIY tutorials. Today I saw these lovely earrings on Crème de la Craft and I just had to share. Can you believe that they are made from bobby pins?



Below is her tutorial.

 What you will need:

• Bobby Pins
• Piece of Cardstock or Cardboard 
• White Spray Paint or Nail Polish 
• Acrylic Paint or Nail Polish (colors of your choice)
• Clear Nail Polish 
• 2 Thin Pieces of Wire 
• Earring Hooks 
• Paintbrush 
• Pencil

Steps: 

1. Clip bobby pins onto a piece of cardstock separating each slightly from one another.
2. Apply a layer of white spray paint or nail polish as a primer. Let dry and do the other side.
3. Paint pins your desired base color with paint or nail polish. Let dry and do the other side.
4. Lightly sketch your design onto both sides of pins.
5. Paint design onto pins with paint or nail polish. Let dry and do the other side.
6. Apply a layer of clear nail polish to seal the paint and add a glossy finish.
7. Create a triangle shape with the wires, twisting the edges together to close.
8. When completely dry, remove pins from the cardstock and run them through the wires.
9. Attach earring hooks to the wires and voilà!
