Homemade Glamour!

 Last Christmas I searched for a gift idea for the lovely girls at work. Seeing as there is a lot of them, I needed something that was easy...yet oh so pretty! I made earrings, earrings and more earrings! 


I purchased surgical stainless steel backings and posts off Etsy. Stainless is better as many people are allergic to silver plate. I also bought some special jewellery adhesive.


Off a variety of Etsy and Ebay stores, I hunted for pretty cabuchons and buttons that would make the earrings razzle! Not pictured are some gorgeous cut glass and faceted cabuchons that I also bought and have since given away - too pretty!


I dressed them all up in cellophane bags and boxes...


...and secured them all on card backings made with images from The Graphics Fairy.


I can't wait to make some more. The perfect gift made with love for any friend!
