I have almost all of my best ideas while r-u-n-n-i-n-g out of the door to catch the bus to get to work. (Usually at the exact moment I run out of time to actually do anything about it.)
Last week as I was throwing things in my bag in an effort to leave only 4 minutes after I was supposed to- it hit me, “I should make some custom earrings to wear with this outfit.”
Of course! I’m 4 minutes late leaving to catch the bus that only comes once an hour, I ran out of time to make my lunch and already nixed that, my hair is a mess and I don’t think I brushed my teeth but of course- of course there’s time for custom earrings. Why wouldn’t there be?
I grabbed some cheap silver hoops from my collection and embroidery floss from a friendship bracelet I was making for a friend and ran out the door to chase after my bus.

Switch colors and wrap with each color to create your design.
At the end, quadruple knot the floss, cut as close as possible and you’re done!
