Bottle Earrings


Hi again!

These are some earrings I made this afternoon. They were really easy to make and did not take long. I've posted a few instructions at the bottom of the post if you want to make them.




These earrings were very simple to make and all the supplies can be found at most craft stores. I got my bottles from a store in Washington DC. from a store called Beadazzled  You can also substitute beads for other small things like sand or Pixie Stix powder or anything you can fit inside.

Materials:

- Glue
- 2 earring pieces
- 2 small glass bottles with corks that have hoops in them. The bottles should be about 2.5 Cm with the cork.
- 2 small metal rings
- Tiny beads
- Pliers (optional) 

Instructions:

Carefully pour tiny beads into a small glass bottle. When purchesing the bottles, make sure they have small hoops in the cork. This will be helpful when you attach everything. Next push the cork into the bottle. Before closing the bottle you may want to use a small drop of glue to sucure the cork to the bottle. Next, take a small metal ring and use pliers (or your fingers) to pry apart the ends so you can thread the earring bit and the bottle together. Then push the peices of the ring back together. Then you are done one earring and can repeat for the second one.
