I finally bought a hot glue gun, much needed to make these simple button (and penny) earrings.
Short Story- My Papa and Grams ran a wooden toy business and sold them at farmers' markets, for a brief while they sold button earrings attached to their business cards. Quite a few summers ago when I was helping Grams clean the garage we came across an entire bin full of odd-shaped, a variety of colors and sizes, of button earrings. I proudly wore them and went through a lot of pairs (I would lose some or some would break...) and gave a lot as gifts. Buttons were my signature.
Fashion can be about tradition and family. Both influence fashion and both influence our daily lives. I have a chance to continue creating something I loved that my Papa and Grams started; fashion can be a statement, even on your ears. :)
