Scrap Cardstock Halloween Earrings


     Have some cardstock left over after making mini paper witch hats or other Halloween crafts?  Here's an easy and attractive craft that uses up some of the tiniest of paper scraps.

Materials:
*Scrap Halloween cardstock in 4 different patterns
*2 ear wires
*6 jump rings
*Scissors
*Needle
*2 pairs of pliers

Directions:
*Cut out 2 small pieces of cardstock from each of the 4 different patterns of paper.  My paper was already diamond shaped, so I used that, but you could also try other shapes like circles or stars or even Halloween shapes.
*Arrange the pieces of cardstock in the order in which you would like them to hang from the ear wire.  Using the needle, poke holes in the top and bottom of all of them except for the one that will hang the lowest.  With that one you need only poke a hole in the top.
*Link the pieces of cardstock together in two sets of 4 using jump rings.
*Attach the chains of cardstock to ear wires.
