Yep, that's $2 in the title of this one - I got a pair of most gorgeous appliqués that were just a buck a pop. Check them out...
I was first thinking about making shoe clips, but as the little wedding week got underway, and I saw some inspiration danglers at Anthropologie...
...and I thought I'd turn them into easy earrings, totally appropriate for a wedding!
I took a pair of earring hooks and two jump rings...
...attached the rings to the hooks...
...and then attached the rings to the appliqués! This was easy because the ends of the rings went right through the mesh material the beads and stones were attached to.
I clasped the ends of the jump rings shut...
...and had a glammy, shiny, perfect pair of blingy-earrings!!
I'm not one for dangling earrings without clip-on backs, thanks to years of wearing heavy Jem and the Holograms-style earrings, however these were light and gorge!
I can't wait to start going earring crazy now...get ready!!
