Whenever I go to Walt Disney World, I want jewelry. Earrings, mainly, as I don’t wear much else- I have a key lanyard at work, rings are a pain, and I simply forget to put on bracelets and watches.

The problem is, I often don’t like what they have available. A simple sterling silver earstud of Cinderella’s Castle or Spaceship Earth- is that too much to ask?

Anyway, I seem to have solved the problem of a lack of good dangle earrings (they occasionally have studs I like, and you can see the pair I bought this year by clicking on my Twitter profile pic to enlarge it).

You see, Disney has these charm bracelets. The bracelet runs about $11, and each charm is about $4. And they have A LOT of charms to choose from.  And I make jewelry, so I have the pliers, split rings, french hooks, etc, to do whatever I want with them.

So this is what I made:

You can click these photos to enlarge them.

These cost me $8 a pair plus materials that I already had. Compare that to the cheapest earrings at WDW that run about $12 a pair. So, I got cuter earrings for less money. And they have that personal touch.

Saved money and didn’t even need Walt Disney World coupons. What more could a girl ask for?
