This pair only cost me $6.50 after the 50% discount! Not like drop-jaw-cheap kinda cheap, but considering what I was going to do with them, yah its cheap enough =)
This is what I did with the first earring. Maintained the design and added a meter long gold chain to it.
The length of the chain is actually adjustable, because I really couldn't decide how long i want the necklace to be. The dangling chain in the middle is what would be hanging down my back on wearing it. I didn't have the clasp, so I twisted & bent my own from what was suppose to have been the piece of thin wire that we normally wore through our ear hole... (Sorry, I really don't know the proper name for it)
Here's what I did with the second earring! Same thing on the chain used.
It may not look fantastic or anything, but I really LOVE this!!!
It's the effort I guess.
I took apart most of the earring and put it back together again with more charms and beads. Friends, you all should know what huge hands I have (bigger than all girls I know, and some guys' too), it really ain't easy coordinating my clumsy fingers on something that tiny! Cut my finger in the process =( I also had to work with whatever limited pieces of charms & beads that I have (didn't want to waste $$$ buying more and then storing the excess in tiny pill boxes for years).
One thing I learnt about myself over and over again!!! A shopaholic like me never counts the amount she spends shopping, but counts the savings she made from her buys!!!
