Sometimes I have dreams about creating. This is the result of one of those dreams. I love it when my dreams come true! Be careful whilst filing the sharp bits down! Especially when using the dremel tool! I about filed a nail off! LOL!

Instructions

1. 

   Clean the chicken wire very well.

2. 

   Cut it leaving 4 squares in the center with 3 wires at the top and bottom.

3. 

   File down the sharp bits very well. Keep feeling them with your finger tips to be certain that they are not sharp and will not hurt your yourself or your customer.

4. 

   Curl the wire ends at the top and the bottom.

5. 

   Paint them with whatever you like. I used white nail polish. I put just two (2) coats on for that shabby chic look.

6. 

   Add silver chains, beads, crystals, etc., whatever you like to make it yours! Don't forget the earring hooks, and you're done!
