[If you don't own a die-cutting machine, you can get 20% off using code 'LollyJane' or we can sell you finished pieces on the cheap, just shoot us an email] ;)

Supplies Needed:

Epic 6 Letterpress

Clip It Kit

Diet Coke can

[You know those are in full stock around here!]

Scissors

E600 Glue

Directions:  

1. Gather supplies. 
2. Stab hole into can with scissors then cut end off and discard.
  3. Using mustache, bird + heart die cuts, run them through Letterpress machine. Note: for the bird typography look, place die cut in the nutrition facts on the can. 
4. Simply glue earrings to posts, bird to ring blank. 
For the mustache... punch holes in either side using a thumbtack, loop jump rings through each hole, hang on silver chain. Tip: Pliers are a must for the 'stache!


Edited: The sides are NOT sharp; because it's pressed, the edges are actually slightly rounded (;

ps: Are you sorta confused what die cutting is?  It's okay, Kristi's been a die-cutter for awhile, Kelli is a newbie. Here is a little more info to get your familiar with the process.  It Kits are a great place to start if you want to join the craze, it has all the essentials to get started.  Keep in mind, when you purchase you'll also recive a code allowing you to get the digi cutting files that'll work on ANY cutting machine.  This way you can benefit from both manual + digi die-cutting.

As always, use LollyJane for 20% off your purchase!
