Tender Rose Earrings

I couldn't help myself when I saw these little rose buttons at Jo Anns!! I HAD to make earrings!! They are just so pretty. I was going to just cut the button shank off the back and put them on posts, but I decided to add some little green fabric leaves too (which I painted with fabric glue so they wouldn't fray). Here's how they turned out:







As you can tell Idon't wear makeup very much when I'm home!!

AND REMEMBER, ONLY A FEW MORE HOURS UNTIL I PICK THE WINNER OF MY HEADBAND GIVEAWAY!!! When I post the winner tonight, I will introduce another one up for a giveaway!! Tell your friends :)

Anthropoligie Copy Cat Earrings

I saw these at Anthropologie, and really liked them!! I thought about how to recreate these myself without them costing QUITE as much ;)


I went to the store and brought home seed beads, embroidery floss, and that's it!! I started with a leaf shaped piece of felt, and started out on my earring making journey. I hot glued on loops of floss.....



And hand sewed on some beads...





 I did want the same effect, but with my own touch.  As a finishing touch, I added some of my Grandmother's old clip on earrings to the top... that is the jewels you see. 




 I had been wanting to find a use for them because the backs were broken on them. I sewed on a jump ring and added the earring post and I was ready to rock my new earrings! They are kinda bling.... alot more bling than Anthro's pair, but they'll do!!
