Marc Jacobs Inspired Earrings

I saw the this Marc Jacobs handbag while flipping through a magazine and loved the details of it. I thought the pearls on the safety pins would make a cool pair earrings. I looked on their website to see if they had an earring in this style, they did. The price point was a little high for an item I may use once for a photo shoot, so I figured I could make an inspired pair with items already in my crafting supplies.

Materials

Open the safety pin and place the pearls to your liking. Make sure to leave enough space to close the safety pin.
