DIY: Glitter Dipped Earrings

Hey everyone!! I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas!! Here's a diy I came up with and used as gifts for my friends. These earrings are perfect for new years parties, going out, or for everyday. It takes 15 minutes or less to make them and all supplies can be bought at a local craft store. Let me know what you think!! :)


Supplies:

• glitter
• feathers
• clamps
• paintbrushes
• glue
• earring posts
• pliers

Prep: Its probably a good idea to lay down some newspaper so its easier to clean up. Trim the feathers to your desired shape. Find an old paintbrush for the glue and a decent one for the glitter. 

1. Draw a line of glue a little less than halfway across the feather and then fill below the line with an even layer

 of glue.

 2. Dip the other paintbrush in the glitter and tap on the brush so the glitter falls onto the glue. Wait for it to dry a bit and then shake off the excess glitter.

3. Slide the feather through the clamp so there is enough for the clamp to grab on. Close the clamp with the pliers.
4. Bend the earring just enough to slide the loop of the clamp onto it. Then close your earring.

Et voila! A new pair of fun earrings for you or a friend!
