Button Earrings
Hey guys! This is Haylie! Today I'm going to show you how to make these cute button earrings! They are super cute and super easy! You will need:
*A hot glue gun (you also might need extra glue sticks)
*Cute buttons
*Earring studs
First, buy your supplies. I got mine from a local craft store here in Rexburg, ID. The earring studs were $2.99 and the buttons were $3.99. So it was about $7-$8. Not too expensive.
Next, you need to match up your buttons and put glue on the backs of them. Take off the earring back and place the stud onto the glue. You will need to press the stud on to the back of the button to keep it staying on until it dries.
BEWARE: Sometimes, the glue goes through the holes in the buttons! It will mess the earrings up so try not to let the glue through.

Glitter Jars!!
For this craft, you will need: A mason jar, glitter (NOT glitter glue), Elmer's glue (NOT a glue stick), and water.
- Mix some glue with a tiny bit of water and stir.
- The mixture should be a runny liquid, but it should still be pretty sticky. Pour the mixture into the jar, put the lid on, and shake it!! Pour out the excess water/glue.
- Now, sprinkle some glitter in the jar, shut the lid, and shake. Add more glitter if needed. Now wait until the jar dries, and.....voila!! You just turned a plain mason jar into a sparkling glitter one. Have fun! :)

Instructions:
1. First, stick the sticker onto the top of the soda cap. If you are using your own cut out clover, then glue it to the cap.

3. After that, press your stamp face down onto a piece of paper for about 10 seconds. Make sure you press hard!
4. Use your green pen to add a stem to the clover.
