DIY Earrings

I think the only expensive pieces of jewelry I will ever own are my wedding band and engagement ring. Those I never take off. Everything else, mysteriously gets lost.  I honestly have no idea where any of it goes after I take it off. So, I'm really not allowed to buy anything of worth in that department. Thus, lately I've had some fun experimenting with making my own earrings. It makes me happy in three ways:

{Super inexpensive}
{Make to match any outfit}
{Always unique (or as my cute husband would say, "I"m not sure those are normal")} 

I got a bunch of posts and earring backs at Roberts during their going out of business sale, and most of the time I just use fabric or ribbon scraps to make the earring. I've even used wallpaper, scrapbook paper and scrapbook accessories to add to some of the earrings (not pictured). While I'm a bit amateur, I enjoy them all. Its always fun to make something nobody else is wearing. Here are a few of the ones I've made.
