Hot Glue Blood Drip Earrings

I’ve been wanting to play with hot glue lately and whipped up these earrings that look like dripping blood. red Sharpie or nail polish really makes them stand out! I’d say if you are in need of a costume this year, add this to your costume– why not just make a pair of these?

Supplies Needed:

Mini Hot Glue Gun

Red Sharpie marker

Paraffin Paper 

Ear wires

Jump ring

Hot glue gun on the paraffin paper and make a U shape. Add more drippings on the inside of the U shape and also make a circle on top. Let dry and harden. Color the drippings with the sharpie. Add the jump ring and the ear wire. 

*To color earrings - nail polish will also work.

Spectacle Necklace

Did you know that we have a national holiday for geeks? It's called "Embrace Your Geekness Day" and it's coming up soon! In fact, it's this Saturday, July 13th. But in honor of my personal geekness, I decided to celebrate for the whole month starting with this quirky spectacle necklace.

Here's a bunch of pendants I made in a few different colors. All I did was print up a picture of eyeglasses and then trace the picture onto clear shrink film using Sharpie markers. Then I cut out my designs, punched the holes in either end, and put them in a 300 degree oven for about 3 minutes until they shrunk down to about half their size and were laying flat on the cookie sheet.

This is what the finished necklace looks like. It's 18" long including the pendant. I think the shrink film is the best media for this off-the-wall kind of jewelry, don't you?
