Versatile Earrings

Make two versatile earrings. For pierced ears: At the top of each earring, make a hole with a pin. For unpierced ears: Insert earring clips on the back, sliding them under the top corners. Glue them with Duco cement. (Earring loops and clips are sold in craft store.)

More Ideas

Turn a folded earring into an Easter Rabbit by adding whiskers and eyes. Or glue two folded earrings sideways on a greeting card to look like fish swimming. For a special prize medal, glue an earring to a blue circle. And just for fun wear one as a hair bow or as a tie on a shirt.

Hints on money folds

• Crisp, new bills give the best results.
• It helps to go over creases with a ruler or Popsicle stick.
• You can attach folded money bills to cards and wrapped gifts with rubber cement, temporary glue sticks or double-sided sticky tape. Any residue can be rubbed off easily, and the bills can then be unfolded and used.
• A greeting card can become a gift when you attach a folded bill to a piece of paper folded in half.
• These folds are designed to be made with United States dollar bills, but are also suitable for most other currencies. Plain paper rectangles in the proportion of 2 to 1 (half a square) may be used.
