For the Monster Swap I got @MamaRhi and she loves big hoop earrings. Her dream item for the Monster Swap was for big hoop earrings. I was determined to give it to her, but I had no idea how. After a few days, this idea came to mind.
I wrapped the hoop with rust colored embroidery floss (and generous glue), then I found a cute monster as inspiration from her Pinterest. Painted that onto Shrink Plastic, and then glued that into the hoop. I wanted to hide where the monster was attached, so I came up with the idea of its legs hanging over. I think it worked well, but the package took an extra-long journey (at one point it started to come back to me) and had been crushed. One of the legs broke off, but MamaRhi said she could do surgery and glue it back on. I had it inside a box inside the box, so it must have been roughly handled. I am glad she could fix it!
Here was one of my first attempts. Ha! It was too small, and I used colored pencils. Paint worked much, much better.
Thanks for looking, and don’t forget to check out MONSTER JAM 2025! You can still join. It’s not too late and there is a cute prize!
