DIY Avocado Toast Earrings

DIY Avocado Toast Earrings | Club Crafted

DIY Avocado Toast Earrings | Club CraftedI’ve only recently learned to enjoy avocado toast. I know it’s supposed to be the reason why American millennials are poor and can’t afford houses (or whatever people are saying these days), but my preferred way to eat avocado toast is on sourdough with scrambled eggs and a little salt. As an homage to the great avocado toast, I thought I’d make these DIY avocado toast earrings. Now, if you want to publicly declare your love for avocado toast, you can! 

DIY Avocado Toast Earrings | Club Crafted DIY Avocado Toast Earrings | Club CraftedShrink plastic is probably the coolest thing to come out of this generation, in my humble opinion. I mean, this stuff is pretty incredible and I love using it for jewelry more than anything. Remember my emoji rings I made with shrink plastic?!

Since avocado and toast go together just like peanut butter and jelly these days, I thought it would be fun to make one earring of each for the perfect pair. I kept them fairly small so they wouldn’t feel overpowering, and the shrink plastic keeps them very light so you won’t even notice you’re wearing them. As someone with sensitive ears (I’ll spare you the story about traumatizing childhood ear piecing memories), I try to only wear lightweight earrings and/or earrings made for sensitive ears.  

These are super easy to make by simply tracing the patterns! Here’s how:

DIY Avocado Toast Earrings | Club CraftedTime: 15 minutes

Supplies:

  • Clear shrink plastic
  • Printed avocado and toast images, about 2 inches tall
  • Dark green marker
  • Light green marker
  • Brown marker
  • Yellow marker
  • Scissors
  • Hole punch
  • 2 jump rings
  • 2 earring bases
  • Round nose pliers

Step 1: Find and print cartoon-like images of an avocado and toast. I searched “emoji avocado” to find mine. Adjust the sizes so that they’re about 2 inches tall.

Keep in mind, they will shrink to at least half the size!

Step 3: Carefully cut out the colored shrink plastic images.

Step 5: Place the pieces on a lined baking sheet and bake (in traditional oven or preheated toaster oven) according to shrink plastic instructions. Watch carefully as the plastic shrinks and hardens and promptly remove from the oven. They should bake for about 2 minutes or less.

Attach the earring hardware to the same jump ring and close the jump ring with the pliers to secure.

Wrap them up for someone who LOVES avocado toast or wear them yourself to show off what you love. Using clear shrink plastic keeps the pieces slightly see-though, which gives them a great translucent look when you’re wearing them! Shrink plastic is very durable, but the color may wear after continual use. Enjoy, avocado toast lovers!

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
