diy earring jacket
Earring jackets are the perfect addition to a minimal outfit without making your jewelry over the top. Here is how to make one …
You will need:
You will need:
crimp clasp
small beads (I have used some fake pearl beads)
hot glue gun + glue
earrings of your choice
How to:
small beads (I have used some fake pearl beads)
hot glue gun + glue
earrings of your choice
How to:
1. Fold the crimp clasp out so it lays flat (this will give you an area to glue the beads to)
2. Choose how you want your beads to sit so they will be visible when the jacket is placed behind your earlobe.
3. Glue the beads on using enough glue to make them stick but not too much as you will then see the glue.
4. Trim any glue strands that are left and your earring jacket is ready to wear. To place on your ear first put in your stud then the earring jacket with the flattest part of it against your earlobe then put on the earring back.
TIP You could make only one of these for an edgy look.

back to school
On the first day of highschool I thought it would be a great idea to bring all of my equipment that I could need for school, and by all I mean ALL! I brought every single book, art brushes, a calculator, the sport uniform and more. Doing that left me with a sore back, broken drink bottle and a new mindset. Now four years later, on the first day of school I bring a book, a pen and my lunch an that is about it!
Good luck to those who are returning to school after the 6 week summer holidays we will all be waiting another few hundred days for. I hope this year is organised and that you have heaps of fun along the way.
