Hello everyone!<\/p>\n

I know that it’s been a while since I wrote my last blog post. I have been blessed with a few freelancing jobs these last 2 years, so I’ve been designing and building logos and web sites for many clients. If you’re curious, go here and check out my professional work. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Anyway, on to the post!<\/p>\n

So I have been digging through my collection of broken costume jewelry, and I found this pair of clip-on earrings:<\/p>\n

They look like they’re from the mid-20th century (1950s-1970s maybe), but I couldn’t find a signature or logo on the pieces. Nevertheless, I thought they were cute and I wished that one of the flowers wasn’t missing, or else I could just glue it back together and wear them on my ears. But then I thought that was a little typical for this design, plus the earring backs were rusted and broken.<\/p>\n

I searched through my many fashion magazines and saw some Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses with various decals decorating them. They seemed like a ingenious way to re-cycle these earrings; turn them into decals for a pair of sunglasses:<\/p>\n

Now that I have my idea, I collected the supplies I figured I’ll need to make this happen:<\/p>\n
