While yard saling last weekend, I came upon a box of random goodies. Multiple bags of old jewelry and other findings for a quarter apiece. Sweet.

Inside one of the bags were these two cloth hearts. They looked like the kind you stick inside a build-a-bear. "What am I going to do with these" I asked myself.

and then, I wore my "I ♥ my geek" t-shirt and realized I needed accessories for that shirt. And so, I made earrings. They're simple and easy, but I like them.

(sorry for the glare, they're really difficult to take pictures of.)

I don't need to wear a necklace with them because the heart on the t-shirt is right there anyway, so they're almost perfect. My dilemma, however, is that they keep turning the wrong way when I wear them (you can see in the pic above that the chain keeps going in front).

I've tried a few different solutions to get them to twist the correct way, but I just can't figure them out. They don't like me or something.

Anyone have a suggested method of fixing the issue?
Thanks for looking and for any suggestions ahead of time.
