You don't necessarily have to buy expensive materials to make classy looking jewellery. Here is just one idea for re-using plastic packaging to make something pretty to wear. I have used a drink bottle, but any other suitable clear plastic can be used to make these sparkly earrings.
Supplies:
- 1 clear drink bottle or other similar plastic packaging
- glitter glue
- earring wires
- jump rings
- hole punch
- scissors
Steps:
- Cut the base off your bottle.
- Cut off a large piece of straight plastic.
- From this piece cut 2 pieces that are approximately 4 inches by 3/4 inch.
- Punch a hole into each end of each piece.
- Round off the ends.
- Decorate one side of each piece with glitter glue.
- Leave this to dry. This could take a while. You can speed up the drying by leaving them on top of a warm radiator.
- Curl the pieces in half and join with a jump ring. Attach to an earring wire using another jump ring.
- Be sparkly and shiny.

You also could hang a head or two inside the loop! Nice diy project, ShirleyE!

I presume you mean bead, not head! :)
