How To Tuesday


First things first, I have a winner to announce from last week's "Guest Designer" giveaway. Thank you all so much for your comments. And the lucky winner is ...


Congratulations! Please email your full name and mailing information (including your phone number for shipping purposes) to pebblesincdt(at)gmail(dot)com and put "Guest Designer Winner" in the subject line.

Today design team member Eva Pizarro shows us how to take those adorable Pebbles brads and create some "off the page" projects.  Here's what Eva had to say ... "I love the different type of brads from all of the different collections. And there are so many fun things you can do with them! Today I wanted to show you how to create a simple pair of earings and some hair pins using some glue and your favorite Pebbles brads."

To create the earrings just select your favorite brad (I used one from The Mr. & Mrs. collection) and remove the back with some tweezers.


Clean the back and use a string glue to attach a flat earring piece.


You can use the same technique to create some bobby pins!  WIth a wire cutter cut off the back of the brad.


And attach it to a bobby pin using a strong clear glue.


Super easy!  Now you just have to create a card and send them to someone special!

Really cute ideas! Great tutorial! I bet that same idea would be really cute to make altered paper clips for gifts (or to keep!) as well!
