Use Extra Earrings as Push Pins

Ladies, have you ever lost an earring rendering the other one useless? Try using your old earrings or mis-matched ones as thumb tacks on a bulletin board. Not only does it give a funky eclectic vibe but it also serves a purpose. :)

This has nothing to do with earrigs but I love your choice of name abrupt_silence. It gave me abrupt laughter. Very clever name!

Once when I was younger we were out of town for a wedding and my dad had forgotten his tie tack. Used one of my post pearl earrings. I don't know do guys still use tie tacks?

Who says you have to wear a matching pair anyway? I don't.

I use them to decorate lamp shades you use a push pin to make the hole and then attach the earring looks grand and looks good as well.

Tip: Use Extra Earrings as Push Pins

Pretty and stray post earrings can be used as push pins on cork bulletin boards. So when you've lost the mate of a pair of post earrings, don't despair, use it on your cork board! Maybe you have special memories of some event you wore those earrings to. The moment doesn't have to be lost with the other earring, think of that special moment every time you look at your bulletin board or cork board!

A picture would have been fun, but I like the idea! (08/03/2007)

RE: Use Extra Earrings as Push Pins

I have 3 granddaughters aged 10 thru 21, none of whom have any qualms about wearing unmatched earrings or a single. They also attach them to their charm bracelets, key chains, neck chains, etc. They have started trends in their schools from just this kind of outside-the-box thinking. So, I just pass 'em on and receive lots of thanks! The gold ones I just sell to jewelers who buy scrap gold. (08/04/2007)

I use extra earrings on my shirts or jackets or dresses(like a pin) so kind of to "dress up" my clothing item (08/04/2007)
