I saw a blog post for these earrings the other day on tipjunkie.com.

You know how I love her…I’ve gushed before!

I just had to try them…they looked so easy!

And they were!!

You start with a cover button kit….$2.29 at Hobby Lobby for a pack of 6 buttons and the groovy mold and pusher set.

Some cute fabric is also required…circular designs look great, but i only had one print with a circular pattern, so I tried pink swirls too.

All you do is remove the part that you’d use to sew on the button with a needle-nosed pliers (I found out after fighting with the first pair, if you just pinch it at the base it’ll slip out pretty easily) and then follow the instructions on the back of the cover button kit (it even gives you a pattern to cut your material).

When you’re done with that, you’re a little hot glue and some earring posts away from a cutie pair of earrings.

Earring posts found at Hobby Lobby as well…$2.99 for 36 posts…enough for lots and lots of earrings!

And voila…a new pretty pair of earrings.

At first I was thinking they may look like something an older lady would wear…and then I got thinking they were kindof groovy! I also figured you can’t really go wrong with earrings that cost $ .93 a pair.

I don’t know…tell me what you think!

The best part about them…from start to finish in less than an hour – in all honesty, if we hadn’t been watching survivor at the time, it probably would have been like 20 minutes.
