Keys in Ears

Sometimes boredom and creativity can overcome us and inspire us to create some new pair of earrings.

I looked around at home to find two identical small keys. Suddenly occurred to me to make earrings with them. 

I also used:

• thin wire,
• 2 different kind of beads,
• nail vanish
• earring wires
• the keys

For the first step I painted over the keys with the nail vanish, because it needed time to dry. For me it took 2 coats on both sides to achieve the desired look.

Meanwhile I cut from the wire, brought it through the loop and then both ends through the two bigger beads. It should look like this:

I applied one more coat on one side of the keys' head, so when the nail vanish was still sticky I could decorate it with the smaller beads. I went for the messy look, but nice lines or patterns are achievable with quick hands and maybe the help of tweezers.

When it was dry I connected the wires with the keys. This is the step where I could decide the length of them. To make sure it stays still, I twisted the 4 wires together and let them through the lower bead.

And there you go, your new, bit different and very unique pair of earrings.

Moo:)
