Quick Earring Revival Tut

I love the simple teardrop shape of these large earrings. 

They started out their costume life shiny gold... but soon became dull and coppery

So I decided to cover them in a bright tangerine cotton thread. 

 

And now they're good to go  

To cover each earring -  ss, ch 1, dc all around the loop, packing the stitches in tightly to cover the metal underneath. Pull thread through and finish the ends off.
