Earring Shoe Clips!

Much like the bird mobile, this is something I invented that everyone else invented, too! It's only natural though, since it's so simple and pretty!

1) Find some old clip on earrings:


Local thrift store, $1.50
2) Find out how ugly they are when you put them on:

Yikes!

3) Clip them to your shoes instead!!

Pretty, pretty!


I originally bought them to put on necklaces, which I will probably still do. But now I have to go back and get more, in every color, for the rest of my shoes!

Little side note about the "props";
The other day I asked my husband if he had any (of his millions of) books that he could spare for a project I was going to make. He returns from his office with three gorgeous old books dating from 1850-1888! Like I'm going to cut up a beautiful 160 year-old book!! Then he tells me, nonchalantly, "Oh, there's a whole box of these at the Church building marked 'get rid of''." I almost peed my pants!!

They are now nestled comfortably(and safely!) in my living room.
:o)

  2. Those are adorable on the shoes! On the ears, not so much. LOL.

    OMG...the little bit about your husband makes me want to scream!!! I'd cry to see something like that thrown in the garbage.

  6. Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest

    LOVE this idea. The shoes are so much sweeter with those HUGE earrings on them....much better than what they look like on ears!

  10. I LOVE old books!! Books in general, but the look of an old book is so....whimsical almost. Years of people reading, learning, sharing, and exploring that particular book... great decoration piece and "prop"
