Overall, this is a creative way to make earrings and repurpose items that could be useless in the house. I love crafts where you can upcycle them into greater things. It’s such a unique way to make a personalized gift that is meaningful. I love gifts that are handmade instead of something expensive and flashy. The time and effort with a handmade gift mean so much more, and I don’t think many people would know these earrings were made from CDs either.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
