DIY Quick Sparkle Gem / Rhinestone Earrings!

The other day, I was making another one of my frequent trips to Michael's in search of some rhinestones. When digging through the craft section, I stumbled across these beautiful gems! 


A smile immediately took over my face. I COULD MAKE THESE INTO EARRINGS! And they only took a few minutes to make!

All you need is earring post blanks, the gems (they are only a couple bucks and come in every color imaginable!) and  E-6000.





Put a dob of glue on the earring post, then place it up towards the edge of the gem. If you place it in the center, the earring will not sit right on your ear. I did some in black, too!




Let earrings dry for 24 hours.


I wish my photo did the earrings justice. Darn iPhone. It picks up so many colors in the light! I will definitely be heading back to Michael's to purchase more colors. The best part? Each package came with 10 pieces (5 pair) so I have enough left over to give as Christmas Presents!

Have a wonderful week!
