Instructions

Cut tip of tampons on the bias, at a 45-degree angle. The long side of the cut section should be no more than one inch. Cut so that the �crease� of the tampon runs along the longer side. Cut the strings off the tampons and set them aside.



Hot glue the cut surfaces together with the end of a tampon string in between them, so they form a V shape.



Put an extra dot of glue in the crook of the V and press together till they form a heart. Spray with acrylic sealant. Let dry.



Mix about � cup of white glue with several drops of red food coloring until desired �blood� color is achieved. Mix thoroughly.



Dip hearts part way into the �blood�. Hang to dry.



Trim strings to appropriate lengths for earrings � about 1 and 1/2 inches.



Hot glue the end of the string to an earring post, then glue the bead or stone on top of the string.
