What I wore today

Today I wore my purple hearing aids with the new charms. This is what they look like :

Dreadlock twists

My mum came across some decorations that people who have dreadlocks put on their hair. They are made of Fimo. We have ordered some Fimo online, and we are going to try to make some similar twists for my hearing aids. We will tell you how it goes!

A lady called Pinkhalodesigns sells them on e-bay:

We also saw some Fimo beads for dreadlocks that look like teddy bears and little pigs. We are going to try to make those ones too for my aids.

Skull beads

We found these skull pony beads. I gave some to my friend Robin for his hearing aids. You can also buy them in other colours like white or black. You can also buy pony beads with footballs shapes. We bought these online.

My new charms

Today I wore my new charms to school and my friend said they looked very nice. I like to wear them because I think they are really special and I am lucky that I have two sets of hearing aids, pink and purple.

Smartie charms

We found these charms, which look like smarties,

And we made some charms for my hearing aids, they look like this:

Charm decorations

Once you know how to make dangling charm decorations, you can make lots, like these ones:

Tutorial: Difficult star charm decoration

Today we have been making lots of decorations with stars!

This is a difficult one. My dad made them using a pair of clip-on earrings from Claire's. We also used a small toggle clasp, which we bought online. We only use the round bit of the clasp, not the stick bit. We also used some wire:

First you have to remove the decoration from the earring itself:

That leaves you with a small ring, and from that ring hung the sticks with the stars. Here is the ring:

Using some small pliers, you have to open the small ring:

It looks like this:

Then you take close the ring around the toggle clasp, like this:

And this is the end result, two hanging star decorations:
