Pumpkin seed earrings

I saved these pumpkin seeds when I carved my pumpkin during Halloween. Cleaned, dried and preserved them thinking I would come up with something in the future.
Last week, When my nieces visited us, I wanted to do something fun with them. And, we made these pretty earrings with the pumpkin seeds. Here is what you'll need,



Dried pumpkin seeds
earring backs
4 mm jump rings
Rhinestones
needle
2 pairs of pliers
hot glue gun

  1. Choose a pair of perfectly shaped seeds and using the needle, make a hole at the top of the seed. 
  2. Using the pliers, widen the jump rings and insert them into the hole on the seed.
  3. Insert another jump ring to the earring back.
  4. Insert this jump ring into the one with the seed and close the ring back using the pliers.
  5. Stick the rhinestone in the center of the seed using a hot glue gun.

And there it is, easy breezy earrings and a fun thing to do with kids! I bought all my supplies from Michaels and enjoy doing different crafts once in a while. Hope it was an useful DIY. Thanks for reading :)
