old earrings as pushpins….upcycle!

Posted by A. Saab on January 3, 2014January 3, 2014

what if you had a daughter that shopped at Claire’s for her earrings & then she outgrew them…up cycle! The possibilities are endless. Thrift store gaudy earring now can be used as art! This is all I have for now. I think I’m going to buy huge glass diamond studs at Claire’s or Walmart, so when the sun hits my bulletin board, the earrings will send thousands of rainbows all over my studio…

these are old earrings…but at places like Clairs, you can buy skull & crossbones earrings for your son…a million themes for 5.99!

  I KNOW!!! Thank you! I didn’t think of it until my husband pulled a sparkly blue earring out of the sink drain & placed it on my desk. I didn’t know what to do with it, so I stuck it in my bulletin board…BOOM!!! I can’t wait to go buy glass diamonds at Walmart or claires & make my studio’s board look so great! ~amy
