Earring-A-Day 26: Soda Tabs

Friday was upcycle day, and I decided on soda (well, beer- Genny Cream Ale to be specific) tabs. There was an Etsy Labs day where they made bracelets and belts out of tabs a while back, but I wasn't able to attend. I think for that they used elastic- which makes sense for a bracelet, not so much for earrings- so I used duct tape. Here's a front and back view:

Yep, that's the same duct tape as Day 23's. Very easy, and I liked the way they turned out.

Another idea I'd had kind of fizzled out last night, but glancing around my room I happened to notice a roll of red duct tape I'd bought in an attempt to patch my rain boots. That attempt mostly failed, but red duct tape is very cool regardless.

I folded over strips to take away the sticky side, then cut out petal bits. I attached them together with that makeshift staple in the center. Kind of wish I'd thought of this for tomorrow, as I could've used an actual staple and saved myself some trouble. Does duct tape count as an office supply?

Anyway, here's another view of the earrings, showing the layers off a little more, and getting my requisite short depth of field picture in.

Purdy!
