These are earrings I made for a make-and-take event and they went over so well, I thought I’d share how to do it!
Playing the Crafty Chica™ Loteria Game™ is a great way have fun and to learn Spanish nouns at the same time. But because the images are so colorful and whimsical, why not pick up an extra game to cut up and use in jewelry making? These lightweight earrings are cheery, glittery and are sure to turn heads.

- Paint a thin coat of glue on each side of the Loteria image and immediately pour matching glitter onto glue. Let dry.
- Add a thin bead of glue around the edges of the wood pieces and immediately pour a contrasting color of glitter onto glue. Let dry.
- Drill a hole at the top of each wood piece and use the needle-nose pliers to insert fishhook earring.
Peace, love, and glitter!
