How to Make Creepy Doll Head Earrings for Halloween

When I saw these Smoothfoam doll heads, I immediately knew they were perfect for Halloween! So when Smoothfoam sent me some of them in the mail, I couldn't stand myself!! (I got these for free but all the opinions in this here blog are my own). Some people might wear these all year long but the only time I think you can legitimately get away with wearing creepy doll head earrings is during the month of October. That's when people call them “festive”. Any other time of year, they'd call you a weirdo. Unless that's the effect you're going for…

These are super fun to make, totally lightweight, and they will creep people out! What's not to love? Here's what you need: (Some of these links are affiliate links)
