DIY Teardrop Earrings by Kittenhood

Created by by the blogger at Kittenhood, they use an unusual hardware item (at least for me - I've never even heard of it) called a galvanized thimble. Although this item is usually used to prevent wear in splice line and rope, Kittenhood created a pair of industrial style earrings and, the chic red thread gives it a touch of femininity.

So get thee to a hardware store and whip up a couple pair of these earrings. Start by clicking HERE to get all the how-tos.

Now go bead something.
