at the same estate sale I also bought a pair of vintage glass buttons which I turned into xmas earrings:

{I love how they look together}
I was very proud of myself when I figured out how to get around the the issue of that bump on the back of the buttons & thought I would share it with you:

I tried to take a photo of me wearing them...this was the best I could do:

What a great way to solve that dilemma!! I'll be using that one for sure!! Awesome!! Thanks so much for sharing!! :::smiles::: Shelly
I have a wonderful pair of clip-on earrings which I would love to make into either pierced dangle earrings, or posts. I just can't figure out how to get the clip part off of them. Any ideas?
Those are so fantastic! I have so many buttons I covet, earring would be a lovely solution to using them regularly, thanks for that!
glad I could help ShellyRaeWood & joanie - happy earring making!
Merry - I've found its usually pretty easy to remove the clip mechanism with a little elbow grease & needlenose pliers. but you do have to be careful since sometimes the base of the clip is part of how the earring is kept together. sorry I can't be more helpful...good luck!
