Two Loose Screws...

You might say I have a few screws loose, but I have finally thought of  a DIY project that I think is worth sharing and it's SUPER easy too! Screw earings! I mean...uhrr...earings made out of screws...:) 
What you'll need:
2 of  these funky little sharpish metal  thingys...aka: SCREWS

2 twisted wire needles
1 pair of (in my case,  RUSTY) beading pliers
 


A pair of earring hooks (that means 2 of this little baby)
And lastly:
Nailpolish!

Do This:
Slightly bend the wire around the screw.

Now bend it with the pliers. 
See if it fits snugly around the screw...
and if it does, start twisting it toward the sharp point. 
Now bend the loop upward so that it's straight (trust me, you do not want a skew earring!)




They should look like this...remeber to turn them into earings by adding earring hooks! To find out how to do that, click here.

Drumroll please...

VOILA!

You can leave yours unpainted or give them a pop of color with your favourite polish. Let them dry and then...
HAPPY WEARING!
P.S.: The coiling (twisting the wire needles around) takes practice to perfect, so don't get down in the dumps if you "screw up";)

----The End----
