I was Christmas shopping a couple of weeks ago, when I came across a box of miniature baubles for $5 at a favourite shop of mine (and my girls), Typo. My first thought was to use them as decorations for my daughter when she did her hair as a Christmas tree for Crazy Hair Day at school this week: 
But then a Facebook friend of mine, Diana Ptaszynski, announced the first Tacky Holiday Earrings blog hop, to let us all showcase our shiny, glittery, tacky creations. And with teacher presents looming (it’s the last week of school for the year here in Australia), it was the perfect opportunity to make some glittery statement earrings.
Two of the teachers on our present list have a penchant for big, shiny, earrings — perfect! So I put together a couple of pairs of earrings featuring three baubles dangling from a chain of jump rings. Being plastic, they are so light to wear, the size doesn’t matter! I hope they love them!
I also created a bunch of single bauble earrings, for those who might want to be a little less flamboyant.
Sorry Diana, no ugly Christmas sweater here, it’s too hot in Australia right now for sweaters! But maybe some of the other participants in the hop have indulged you!

Adorable! Your daughter’s crazy hair is great and the earrings are fantastic…love that you chose candy colors instead of traditional reds/greens…they will be perfect to wear through New Year’s celebrations too!
What a sweetie your daughter is! I love the fancy hairdo! Those earrings are perfectly festive. Merry Christmas to you down under! Have a happy new year! Enjoy the day. Erin
Love your daughter’s tree hair! The earrings with a trio of baubles are fantastic – the more, the merrier. Enjoy the holidays and school break with your girls!
Your daughter’s hair is awesome! Also, the earrings are super cute and I love the color choices you made!
First off, that hair tree is so awesome! I bet she was the star of the show at school!
Now, your earrings are great! How fab that you actually have a couple of teachers that could be gifted them? I’m sure these brought a smile to their faces.
Very cute – the hair and all the earrings!
Love them.
