A love-erly Mother's Day present for any love-erly Mother you know...including yourself.

I had seen similar projects around the blogosphere, but I had no idea how easy this really was.Once all the supplies are gathered, and the glue gun is all heated up, this project is finished in about 5 minutes. Super easy and quite spectacular.
Supplies:
bag of earring pieces, include studs and backsflower buttonsglue gun and glueheavy-duty scissors
[Image]
First, you will need to cut the back of the button. I used a really heavy pair of shear like scissors. Button will look like top button in the picture before, and then the bottom button after.

Once backs are removed, glue the stud part of the earring onto the back of the button.
[Image]
Place the stud as center and as level as possible. Hold until back is firmly in place.
[Image]
Repeat. Since you have two ears, you probably want two earrings.

Give them away or put them on. You choose.

Simple. Lovely. Simply lovely.
