so you wanna make plastic garbage into earrings, huh?

i see you found someone on that app of yours that does it. 85k followers, top viewed video of 2.8M, not bad. franka.uk I see. right, lets get to work.

heres what youre gonna do. look though your recycling bin for LDPE or HDPE plastic (#2 or #4) and only those two types, ya got it? that's bottle caps, laundry detergent bottles, etc.

get a blender. blend. you can either do same color or multicolor, that's up to you. pick your colors, throw them in a blender you DO NOT eat out of, and blend.

now youre gonna wanna melt it. get yourself a panini press or an iron if you're feeling brave, and two pieces of parchment paper. lay the first one down, then lay our your plastic bits, and then the second paper. its not rocket science. start at low heat and WATCH.

when its flat, take it off and let it cool. be careful, its gonna be hot, so dumb be stupid about this. wait for it to cool down a bit, you can press it between some books if you're feeling fancy. get your metal cookie cutters and get to work. they wont punch through, so wait for it to cool all the way and get yourself an exact knife to finish the job.

now you're gonna smooth them out. if you're using an exacto knife, you'll wanna wear a glove or some thumb protection so you don't cut yourself. you could also use sandpaper, might take longer though, or a dremel. if you don't have a dremel, don't panic, it would just be the fastest and smoothest thing, that's all.

finally, youre gonna want take what you made and fashion them into earrings. you can make them into other things too, maybe a wall hanging or a sign, but our example is earrings, alright? now, get a drill bit that's the size you need for your jump ring, likely 2 or 3 mm. get a pair of needle nose or jewelry pliers, feed one ring through the hole and then a second one to connect the earring hook. if you wanna add more charms, top or bottom, drill more holes and repeat.

you're done. think you can handle that?

little update!

hello!! I hope everyone has been well c: in my time away from this tumblr account, I've graduated from college, gone on vacation, and found a job! but I've also gotten back into writing a bit, and I've really missed interacting with my friends' fics and creations on here.

sooooo... I'll be coming back to tumblr! I'm taking some time to rebrand and set up a little return/birthday event, but if everything goes according to plan, I'll be back officially on the 17th of August!

I hope to see you then! ^u^

Thought about throwing Red Leader into my tordmatt breakup and ohohohohohohohohoohohoh things just got SO MUCH more fun

[so-very-small]

Tumblr recommended one of your posts to me "based on my likes" and I had no fucking idea what the hell it was talking about or what the hell g/t meant. I'm still confused as to why Tumblr showed me that since it's not my thing but now I got to learn about a new type of little freak (pos) on tumblr ig. Rock on little guy (gender neutral).

this is so fucking funny oh my GOD FJDJDDJDJDJ

I love giving advice, apparently, so if you are a newly pierced person or are planning on being pierced, here are some of the things I found helpful, as somebody who isn't a professional piercer but has had six plus piercings on my face and body, and multiple ear piercings (which I don't count, since I DIY'd them):

Normal bath towels are your enemy, proceed with caution after bathing. NEVER wipe moisture away from a fresh piercing, always pat it dry

You will hit a new piercing and it will hurt. This is inevitable, just know that you likely haven't destroyed it. Feel free to cry, though, it hurts like hell.

If your piercer gives you instructions, heed them. If you're on restrictions, please take it as seriously as possible

When you're going in for a piercing, please eat or drink something - at least what constitutes as a snack for your body. It really helps

If you're getting an oral piercing, make sure you size down after the healing period - I hadn't sized down for my last oral piercing when I first had the chance, and it was... so annoying to have too-large of jewelry

Not all jewelry is made equally. Do your research on materials, threading, and sizing. I've found that titanium jewelry is really nice for me, and I like it, but that isn't the only option. Make sure you think about your body and its needs and preferences

Close your eyes while being pierced (I found this really helps me)

Don't over-clean a new piercing, twice per day is usually a good place to start

The completed healing period is a very average suggestion - you may heal slower or faster. Try to adhere to that suggestion, though, especially if you do not feel you're healed enough

Personally, I have found that I am completely healed when my piercing feels like just another part of my body, even when it is touched. When my piercings start to feel as though they are foreign when they never do before, I know I likely need to clean them

While I have DIY'd piercings, I personally do not recommend it, especially if you are either not using sterilized equipment, or are piercing a very dangerous place (like the tongue). If you are absolutely positive about committing to the DIY mindset, please try to do due diligence in research at least

Tip your piercer. Body mods are a luxury service, and it takes years to even become a piercer, much less to be proficient at it. Tip your piercer, ESPECIALLY if their prices feel too good to be true - they likely are. Unless you are directed otherwise by your piercer, just assume that you will be tipping them for their services and budget accordingly

Make sure you understand how your piercer wants you to take care of your piercing, and ask questions. There is no question too "dumb"

If you are getting a body part pierced you are insecure about, realize your piercer has most likely seen HUNDREDS of different body parts of various sizes, shapes, and oddities. Your body is not uniquely bad, nor would a good piercer make you feel unwelcome or uncomfortable with your body. If they do, however, DO NOT go through with the piercing. You should feel safe being pierced by somebody, and, indeed, that is the bare minimum.

If you use saline wash to clean piercings, you can DIY it. You will go through NeilMed like no other, and with it being $5USD a bottle, that price can rack up quickly. Make sure you use distilled water and non-iodized salt, though

If your piercing is infected, please don't be too ashamed to seek help. It's in your best interest to make sure you don't get ill or your site gets nasty ("nasty" as in painful)

These are just some of the things I've learned being a pierced person! My piercings are something I absolutely needed, and I do not for a minute regret having them. I want that same happiness to befall you, and that happens when you are able to understand a bit more what goes into piercings. You are, essentially, getting a new body part installed by a pro, and so I don't want you to not be ready for that.

Again, I am not a professional piercer, but am rather a body piercing enthusiast with many different types of piercings. I don't have every piercing, though, so please look at this critically for the piercing(s) that you want or have. At least, treat this like a soft suggestion or ways to help you brainstorm what you will find helpful.

More tips are obviously welcomed, especially if you yourself have more insight or expertise. Good luck to every pierced person or future pierced person reading this💛
