Last week I had the amazing opportunity to take part in Today's DIY Week. I was beyond excited when they asked me to make a project to be featured on Today.com. My fab friend Sonia saw a pair of earrings similar to these while shopping and suggested we do-it-ourselves! What I love is that you can try it with different size rhinestones and experiment with other colors/kinds of string, and it almost always turns out fantastic.
I have been sporting mine, and already have requests from my friends to make them a pair... I think it is time to plan a craft party ASAP!
Steps and supplies after the break!
Supplies: Hoop earrings, String of clear (or color) small rhinestones, Embroidery floss or
experiment with different types/colors of string
Double knot to secure.
Continue wrapping the string around the earring, between each link of the rhinestones.
When you reach the end tie another double knot, and cut off excess rhinestones and string.
Add a pop of color with red, or get a sleek look with black string.
oo definitely would want to try with a metallic black! must try must try!
ReplyDeleteThis is something I think I could actually make. Must must must try :)

ReplyDeleteNice post about jewellery at this time Gold has been advancing for over 10 years now, from a low of $252 per ounce in 1999 to where it sits today at $1,755, which is a gain of over 595%. With gold at unprecedented levels (previous bull market high was $850/oz) is it any wonder why someone would question starting to acquire gold?
ReplyDeletebuying gold
love it so much, just wondering where do you buy your supplies? Is there somewhere online?
ReplyDeleteHi, I just made a pair and used leather to tie them onto silver earrings that I got a the $1 jewelry store. Very cute and have that BoHo vibe. Very easy to do and took about 10mins to make.
