I love earrings – I have way too many, but somehow, I never have the right pair for an outfit. I am always making new sets.
The use of buttons is one of the easiest ways to make some quick studs.
Materials I Used:
– 2 3/4″ Red Glitter Heart Shapes – Hobby Lobby
– 8mm Surgical Steel Earring Posts – Ali C’s Supply Shop on Etsy
– E6000 Glue (I suggest the Clear color so you won’t notice it when it dries.)
– Scrap Paper for Glue
You May Also Need:
– Opt. Toothpick for Applying Glue
– Wire Cutters if you have buttons with shanks instead of flatback embellishments
– Sandpaper or an Emery Board if you have buttons with shanks
Time Spent:
You will have these done up in less than 15 minutes, but you will need to set out to dry for 24 hours before wearing.
Measurements:
These hearts measure 3/4″ wide.
DIY:
Squeeze out a nickel size drop of E6000 on some scrap paper. I like to dip my earring post into the glue, but you could also use a toothpick to apply. |

So pretty and an easy craft. A really good idea when you are in a hurry and want something new for your outfit – maybe for a party night with friends.

One of my favorites to use flatback embellishments because they are so much cute options too!
