DIY Cardigan Clips

I have to say, I love a good cardigan.  So when I saw this tutorial on DIY cardigan clips, I had to try.  It took me awhile to find some good clip-on earrings and even then they ended up being too loose!  I replaced the earring clips and then they were good to go.  I added two chains for a decorative touch.


It's been too hot to wear these out for real, but I'm excited for the fall weather.

  4. At the craft store. The earring clips were so loose they didn't stay on anything. I just bought some findings for clip on earrings and replaced them. The old findings were so weak I just yanked them off with pliers.

  5. I suppose that make sense. There are still some parts of my local craft stores that I've never been into before. It is kind of fun actually because it is like discovering new and exciting worlds when I meander about blindly. The jewelry making section is still kind of a mystery to me, though I did wander in there one day to get some ring blanks. I guess it is time to mount a full out expedition into that section's gemmy, sparkly depths :)
