I guess you'd call it a tutorial - but don't get all excited...

because this might be one of those things that's obvious to everyone but me so you might have seen it before. still, I was pretty proud of myself on sunday when I repurposed a recently purchased pair of screw back earrings:


I bought these on etsy from JPsuniqueboutique but once they came I realized, for me, they were too big to make into post-type pierced earrings. then it occured to me not to remove the whole screw back at all, but to use it as a way to make it a leverback.

step one = snip:


step 2 = reshape:



step 3 = add:



all done!
