Seeking Ideas

[ladysprite]

Okay - I've got a lot of clever and creative people reading this, and a lot of crafters, and I've got a conundrum that's been stumping me, so I'm going to throw it out to the masses and see if y'all have any ideas.

I love wearing earrings, but I am occasionally absent-minded and clumsy, the end result of which is the fact that I own a lot of unpaired single earrings. I don't want to throw them away, for a lot of reasons. They're beautiful. They were gifts, and I have wonderful memories of the people who gave them to me, or times when I've worn them. I'm an incredible packrat, and it's just hard to throw anything away, even when I lost the other earring three houses ago and there's really no chance of me ever finding it again.

On the other hand, I can't wear them. While I do have two holes in my right ear, most of what I wear in the second hole are studs, if anything, and most of the singleton earrings are dangles.

So... any creative suggestions of what to do with single, unmatched earrings?

as an addendum to the necklace crew's host of excellent ideas, if several of them are danglies that would allow for hooking another one (or more) on, you could make a large triangular pendant of several of them - hook a row through the necklace then a smaller row through the first and so on. I second the Bejoran ear chain idea; ear charms! *g* They might also make interesting decorations on a pair of victorian gloves or on a headband that, say, a post-apocalyptic-native-american-based LARP character might wear? In any case, hope you have fun with whatever you decide to do with them!
