In the life of every woman there is a situation whereThe new dress does not contain earrings in the collection of jewelry. Moreover, on sale there can not be earrings of "dream", ideally approaching for a new thing. In this case, boldly go to the store for needlewomen and choose beautiful buttons, the benefit of the choice of such goods is simply huge.
To make of beautiful buttons simple earrings, you will need two buttons (it is better if the buttons are on the foot,but with the rest of the buttons you can create an interesting decoration), the basis for earrings-studs (the basis for earrings is also sold in the store for needlewomen), glue (hot, superglue or other glue for plastic and metal).

Use a nipper to bite off the button leg. If the leg is broken off unevenly, you can ground the bottom of the button with a file. On the platform of the base for the earring-stud, apply glue, tightly attach the bottom of the button, hold it for a while in one position, so that the glue stays at least a little. Do the same for the second earring. Wait for a while to allow the glue to cool properly (see the glue instructions for exact waiting times).
