Cheap, fast, easy, STYLE!
I love finding strange new ways to show my love of fashion! When Outsapop featured Taylor and Demolish's chained collar tips, I was smitten!
.
There's just one problem: earring backs are NOT meant to go through a shirt's collar and I did not want to rip big holes in my silk blouses, thank you very much! Then it hit me: CLIP-ON EARRINGS!
.
You can get everything you need from a thrift store for only a few dollars! Well, maybe not the pliers...

Step 1Gather your supplies:
*clip-on earrings
*chain or old bracelet (~7 inches)
*jump rings -
Step 2<-- This is a screw-back earring. It is very easy to attach the jump ring to the loop.
-
Step 3<-- This is a flip-clip earring. The jump ring goes in the slot on the side. Make sure that you choose the opposite sides for opposite earrings!

Step 4Be fabulous!

One of the flip-clips was loose and had to be adjusted before it would sit snugly on my collar. To do that, you simply remove the flipper-clipper and bend the central spar as in line as possible with the outer spars but still lifted enough that you can reassemble the earring.
The screw-backs are trickier. I find the hook needs to be bent towards the earring slightly each time I wear them, as the act of tightening the screw pushes the hook outwards.
