How To Make Bloody Tampon Heart Earrings

Earrings

Wear your heart…on your ears. These tampon heart earrings display both your romantic sentiments and your menstrual pride.

Materials

* Tampax tampons
* Spray on acrylic sealant
* White glue
* Red food coloring
* Blank earring posts and backs
* Small heart-shaped beads or stones
* Hot glue gun
* Scissors

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.

Tampon Heart Earrings

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.

Tampon Heart Earrings

Mix about ¼ 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.
