I'd collected some crystals and bullet shells while road tripping through the US and decided to turn them into earrings for a Christmas present. The punch from Easy Earrings Cards made it so simple to package them up and give them a nice professional finish.

    Bend the two tails around the top of the bullet and bend the tails down either side.

    Twist the wire tails around the outside edge of the bullet.

    To make some awesome packaging, use the earring punch to punch earring holes in some reflective mirror card.
