Watching Red Carpet events always makes me want to get dressed up for no reason, I fall in love with elegance and glamour on the red carpet. Beautiful statement dresses with simple jewelry pieces or simple dress with dramatic jewelry pieces. I have to say my all time favorite look was Angelina Jolie’s at the 2009 Oscars. She wore a simple but beautiful Elie Saab black dress with stunning emerald Lorraine Schwartz earrings. It’s amazing what jewelry can do for any outfit.

Here is my inspired Red Carpet Earrings, made from Swarovski Rhinestone Buttons

Materials:

• 2 Earring Posts (at a craft store)
• 2 Earring Backs (at a craft store)
• 2 Swarovski Rhinestone Buttons 18mm Style # 29316
• E6000       
• Pliers
• File

Directions

Step 1: Take pliers and cut the shank off the back of rhinestone buttons.

Step 2: (Optional) File down the back of button, making it smooth

Step 3: Glue earring backs to the back of rhinestone buttons with E6000 (let dry for 30mins)

Step 4: Ready to WEAR!
