We love to hear your feedback, and in our recent reader survey, SO many of you asked for DIY projects that were more useful… more than just cute. So today I have an awesome idea to share with you—mini liquor bottle earrings! These little earrings can save any bad day. They’re my new tiny best friends.
Since statement earrings are so hot this year, I thought it would be fun to create a few pairs that are cute AND functional. They are also super affordable. Here’s how to make your own…
First, buy mini liquor bottles of all your favorite spirits. Next, tie gold ribbon or trim to your bottles, and then attach them to your earrings. Yeah—it’s a little painful, but not too bad.
And then you get to look cute like THIS!
You might think these are only useful for a night out on the town, but they are SO MUCH more than that. I think you could wear them pretty much anywhere… a boring piano recital, an awkward family gathering or a work party you didn’t want to go to.
Who’s ready for a fun night out??? THIS GIRL!
APRIL FOOLS’!!!!!!!
Love you guys. Hope we got you for at least a few seconds… haha!

I was feeling so, so concerned. Love it!
Totally fell for it. Also think this could work somehow into a cute Halloween costume.
Haha, when I first saw the thumbnail for this post I thought for half a second you guys were serious, and I was like “Oh no, they’ve officially lost it.” Then I came to my senses and realized OF COURSE it was y’all’s annual April Fool’s joke. 😉

Love the booze bottle earrings. Very funny. So had a look back at past April fool posts…was loving the ABM faux doco until the gun moment. It was a bit jarring and incongruent. Could be a cultural aspect that in Australia we have a less casual relationship with guns but it made me very uncomfortable. btw I’ve been following since red velvet days…
Hi Jen,
I totally understand and I hope it didn’t seem in ANY way like we were making light of gun violence.
Thanks for following all these years.

hahaha..u got me…this was cool..i thought for a minute like….”really..!the must be so heavy!!”
They were SO heavy… haha!
Oh My gosh, I forgot it was April 1st, and was totally thinking this was serious and you guys had lost it. When you suggested that these be worn to a family gathering…….whahahaha! Well played, you guys! you always do April fools day well!
When I woke up this morning I got exctied knowing you guys would have a good one for us! You totally did get me for a few seconds with this one and i LOVE the documentary trailer too. so good!
Hahahaha!! Love April Fools of this year 😉
Haha! That was the BEST!
LOL! You got me.. I was like… oh … wow!
I was about to say a good idea xD
Ha!! I check your site today to see what your joke was I always look forward to it. I still like you ABM documentary!!
You’re so cute! I love your April Fools posts every year!
No joke: In the 80s I wore mini Channel No. 5 perfume bottles as earrings. They were filled with real perfume and I wore them all the time! I still have them! Ugh!
Haha- I bet they are way smaller than this and adorable! xx
You got me! The first thing I thought was “You’ve got to be kidding me!!”
You got me! AGAIN! Lol!!! I was thinking ” why did she not use plastic liquor bottles? ” hahaha
HA! Great April Fools. So on brand, so funny. Not going to lie, you had me going there for a solid 20 seconds.
Hahaha good one, except that I would probably actually make these. Does that me the fool?! Haha
