These are homemade pieces of jewelry that you will actually wear.

Please vote for me in the jewelry contest :), every bit counts.

Step 1: Materials

What you will need is up to you, but i used:
- Craft wire
- Earring hooks
- Bobby pins
- Nail polish
- Tape

- You can use glitter, or whatever you like, the sky is the limit

Step 2: Painting

Start by painting your pins.
If you bought your pins new, keep them on the little cardboard piece that they came on. This helps them keep them straight when you are painting them. If they aren't new, pin then on something that will keep them straight.

Simply tape off the areas you want to paint, and paint whatever pattern you like. I just stuck with easy stripes. You could do chevron, diamonds, etc. Whatever you want.
Let your paint dry and carefully feel back the tape.

Step 3: The Hook

Next, prepare your wire. I cut two strips of metal wire and twisted them around each other. Take your pins off your cardboard piece, and slip on to the wire. Shape your wire and attach your hook. Wrap once again around for security and cut the excess off.

Step 4: Second Earring

Repeat these steps for the second earring.
Totally cool, right? And if you ever need a pin to hold your hair back, just slip one off your earring and you're good to go!
