Turn a humble pair of op shop earrings into a trusty breakfast food.

Fried eggs are one of the scrummiest and most effective hangover cures. So why not wear a little egg on your face, in tribute to this trusty breakfast food?

2. Spraypaint the earrings white and buttons yellow. Follow the paint manufacturer's instructions for recommended drying and re-spray times. You may need a few light coats.

3. Once the paint is thoroughly dry, glue the yellow button onto the white base. Place them slightly off centre to replicate a fried egg. Then pop on your lobes and prepare to make people curiously hungry everywhere you go.
