Tutorial Thursday: Earrings!!!

I was doing my usual Michael's run this past weekend, looking for unique embellishments or buttons that I could maybe re-create. I knew this would be a quick and inexpensive trip...WRONG. It never is quick, easy nor inexpensive when I go to any of my crafting stores. LOL Please do not take notes from me, or you will end up hoarding all types of crap that you found on clearance. I usually don't find a use for my 'hauls' until...maybe 6 weeks later. Terrible, I know! :) But, the nice coupons mixed with the super sales at my craft stores makes it impossible for me to pass it up.

Here's what I found...

Of course, I have 'Penelope' right by my side! LOL Yes, that's the name of my Glue Gun. If you do not own a glue gun, I suggest you get one ASAP. It's my favorite toy. :) I have about 3...I found little circle things (Not sure of the name and can't find the bag) to hold the pierced ear post (seen in photo).

I only put a little dash of hot glue (please wait until the gun gets hot) onto the earring and attached the pierced ear post. Hold it for about 10 seconds to ensure it sticks and TA-DA!!!!

Not the best pictures but I have yet to perfect my resources. Ha! I hope you play around with making some of your own. So easy to make and less than $3 Also, you don't have to be 'crafty' to make them...just have to know how to hold the Glue Gun steady. 

Items Needed:Glue Gun or Mini Glue Gun: $4.99 (Michael's)Pierced Ear Post: $1.09 (pack of 120)Any Embellishment that can be hot glued
