"Anywhere-rings"

 
Earrings are such a fun way to accessorize! My ears do not tolerate them and if yours are like mine, take heart! I've found some fun new ways to wear earrings. So go digging in your grandmother's jewelry box- those huge funky clip-ons are back in style!

  • Remove the post and glue to thumb tacks to add pizazz to your cork board.
  • Remove the post and glue a magnet to the back for your fridge.
  • Leave posts in and poke through a lampshade for a glam look in your teen's bedroom.
  • If it's big enough, use as a brooch
  • Remove the post and glue onto a small clip or bobby pin for your hair.
  • Snap a pair of clip-ons to your shoes.
  • Gather a long multi-chained necklace to the side with a large earring or brooch.
  • Use a hoop to connect the ends of a broken necklace.
  • Clip onto a scarf or purse.
  • Actually wear earrings as they're intended to be worn? If you lose an earring back, snip a small segment of rubber band and poke onto the post. (My aunt Mary came up with this little ingenious tip!)

Here are a few pictures of ways to wear earrings. I had to borrow a few from a neighbor, but I'll be hunting down new ones at yard sales to add to my collection.
