Tearing through the latest editions of fashion magazines at Tazmanian Devil-speed is something every sartorially minded gal can relate to, so when we saw this DIY that combines our love for glossy magazines and accessories, we died a little.

Introducing makeshift earrings made from fashion magazines snippets, inspired by everything bling from Mary Katrantzou's fall '10 collections to old-school Versace. It's the perfect way to wear your inspiration for everyone to see, and the best part is, it's as simple as it looks. So as long as you can work a gluestick, you're good to go.
