Notebook Spiral Earrings

As seen on Etsy.com – you can make these! Use wire snips to snip off a little bit more than you’d like the earrings length to be and with needlenose pliers fashion a small turn in the bottom to hold the beads. Start adding beads. When you’ve got them to the desired lenth, use pliers to attach fishhook style earrings.

How To Crack An Orange

Here’s a really simple, quick and clean way of peeling oranges.

First find a place on the orange where you think the slice under the peel might be. Then make a crack using your thumb (or knife) from bottom tip to top.

Split the orange.  This part might take some practice. Just line up your fingers across the crack that you made and pull it open like you want to climb into the orange!
