Easter Egg Earring Set Made out of Cute Egg Buttons

I looked high and low for some cute Easter egg earrings (particularly the stud-like kind) this year and I couldn’t find anything that made me smile.  At the craft store however, while looking for buttons for another project, I found the cutest little shank-back buttons and thought to myself “I can make those into earrings!”

This instructable is the process that I used to make those cute stud Easter egg earrings (and/or a lapel pins) out of the buttons.  (Who would really use a basket button anyway?)

It took me less than 20-minutes (and I was taking pictures) to create these earrings, but there is some dry time for the glue until you could wear the final product.

Step 1: Materials

• Favorite Findings “Easter Day” Buttons (purchased for $2.29 at my local Jo Ann’s).  Copy and paste the link to see what they look like.
Favorite Findings Buttons on Amazon
• Darice Jewelry Designer Brass Post 10mm Nickel flat earring post and butterfly clutch.  ($1.29 at my local Jo Ann’s for the 12/piece per package)
Jewelry Designer Flat Earring Post 48-pack
• Optional Jewelry Essentials Findings Jewelry pins with clutch backs
(I had these already and I surprisingly couldn’t find them on-line)
• Cardboard Emery Boards (for filing your nails).  I picked these up at Wal-Mart for under $1
• Alene’s tacky glue (I also use toothpicks to place the glue)
• Wire Cutter/Pliers

Super cute! I used to play with jewelry design back in the day, you'd be surprised how many things you can find to turn in to earrings, pins, etc. like this.

Thanks for your comment! I'm surprisingly not into making jewelry, but I really wanted a pair of egg earrings. I know I'm not the first one to do this, but I 'm happy to share it!
