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?

A charm bracelet or necklace? Replace the ear wires with attachments for the bracelet/neclace, and you can wear a bunch of them is a sparkly jangly way.

That's clever. I have the same problem, with quite a collection of singletons.
