29 Sep DIY – Photo Earrings

Since my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge doesn’t allow me to shop for any new clothing or accessories for a full year, I decided to make me own jewelry. I came across this awesome DIY project on Necole Bitchie by Blake Von D and I knew I had to give it a shot. It’s easy and cost pennies to make.

These earrings are great for the girl who wants a look that’s completely unique. You can use a photo of a family memory, album, book, etc and turn it into a fly pair of earrings. I decided to use the covers of two of my favorite albums.

You’ll also need a pair of pliers to connect the jump rings. You can find these items at your local craft store.

{poke a small hole through the top of the photo. i used the pliers to create a hole}

{attach the jump rings to one another and through the hole of the photo. then attach the earring hook}
