feeling crafty

ok, i come clean, because i told my mom that i'm a genius for making this, only fact i hid was that it's not really my crafty idea. i saw in a magazine when i was doing my hair last friday. anyway, i thought it's such a cool idea to reuse my old unused jeweleries into bookmarks. not that i read much nowadays, but it's so cool to be given as gifts!

so i did a few, using scraps of ribbons from my cousin's wedding (mom was in charge of doing the hantaran and all that), and random jewelry items like lockets/pendants that i do not wear anymore because i'm more into statement-making chunky accessories right now, and also earrings i've never worn or which have lost it's pair.

it's so easy to make. for earrings, you just have to loop the wire that you poke into your earlobes with into a circle. better if you use pliers coz it'd hurt you if you do it freehand. trust me. and then pull a ribbon through and knot it. make sure that you really cover the sharp, poking wire part that you looped just now.

i love them so much they make me want to read again! my mom loves them, she took two, and my brother took one. i plan to make more and give out as gifts. if you want one, be nice to me!
