Button Earrings.

These are "design your own button" earrings. At any craft store or even Wal-Mart they have button makers that you can buy that come with sets of buttons and backings. What you do is cover the button with your choice of fabric and add the backing once the fabric is in place. Then you have your own custom, decorative button.

These are just examples of some earrings we've made.

[WHAT YOU NEED: felt for the backing, feathers, synthetic flowers, decorative buttons, glue gun, headbands]

jersey necklaces.

This particular one has knitted strands that i hand knitted myself (cast on 4 and st st until long enough)
