A Perfect Day to Play

It's a perfect day to play!

17degrees outside, it's a beautiful day with no

snow in the forecast, but lots on the ground.

I went into my hardware supplies and

found washers in various sizes

and decided to see what I could do to

make them into earrings.

I grabbed my "sticky" glue, gold leaf foiling flakes

and set out to make foiled earrings.

I "painted" the sticky glue on one side of the washers,

Let it dry, flipped over and painted the other side as well.

Then I took my gold leaf flakes (available at any craft store)

and put them in a cardboard box (don't use plastic because

the flakes will stick to the plastic) and I grabbed my washers and

coated them on both sides with the gold leaf.

When everything was covered I took a sponge and sponged off any excess

leafing, making the washers nice and smooth.

I coupled the washers together with huge colored jump rings, added

earring findings and Viola! 

I have beautiful new earrings to wear.

It took about 1/2 hour total.

Surely you can find a 1/2 hour today to do something

for yourself.  You will feel wonderful!!!

Enjoy.
