Holiday earrings

Just in the nik of time...LOL
I made some St. Patrick and Easter earrings.
I found the patterns in the silhouette store.

I also bought some new ear wires, I found them at Michaels. This is what the box looks like and to the left is what they look like. I pinch them closed (the little ball falls off but thats Ok). Their a lot easier to get on and off.

I've been super busy working on my treats to take into work next week. I needed to take a break and make some earrings. The Silhouette store has halloween designs on sale so I noticed the halloween charms ...hhhmmmm...those look like earrings...ROTFLOL!!!!
I cut the spider at 1.18"h x 1.08"w and the pumpkins at 1.54"h x 1.01"w and the ghosts at 1.44"h x 1.02"w (eyes .70"h x .75"w blk circles).  I added a thin layer of modge podge to make them more durable...it is only paper after all.....LOL!!! Remember I cut 4 designs, my earrings have a front and back!!

 

OK! enough playing...back to working on those treats for work....wait till you see what I'm making!!! My co-workers are gonna LOVE IT!!!!

FYI- earrings are made out of white cardstock.  I cut 4 images.. my earrings have a front and back! with a lite coating of modge podge. if you want to see my other earrings look under "jewelry" to the right.

Never thought my paper crafting would turn into jewelry. I'm having a BLAST with earrings....
Using the silhouette and a digi. I sized them down to 1.5".  I made fronts and backs...I have short hair, you can see my earrings coming and going...LOL!!! Added a thin layer of modge podge to protect them.
When using modge podge you have to be QUICK! ONE SWIPE is all it takes, otherwise you'll smear the ink.
So I wouldn't poke a hole in their head I got some scratch pieces of cs and poked a 1/8" hole then a 1/4" over it and glued it between the fronts and backs.

heres my Tweet earrings
(yes, the feet on the back are a brighter orange, I had to use a marker to touch them up)

While I was at it..
Heres my "gloomy" Eeyore earrings....ROTFLOL

HA HA!! I'm an equal opportunity crafter..I've made earrings with the cricut Imagine and now the Silhouette. I LOVE THEM BOTH!!!

I used my Imagine and Kates Kitchen Imagine cart....YES!! the Imagine!! Bet you didn't know you could be a fashion diva with the Imagine.he he he....I'm just getting started.....Anyway I sized it down to real dial size 1.5 cut 2 (theses will be the fronts) save load last  but this time flip them and cut again (these will be the backs) They'll see your earrings coming and going...HA HA HA!!!!! glue fronts to backs then for protection...after all it is just cardstock I added a thin layer of modge podge to fronts and backs wait about an hour and poke a small hole and TA DA!!! You have a PAIR OF PEAR earrings.....ROTFLOL!!!!!!!
