Hey Y’all! 🙂 I hope you are having a most spectacular week! I’m in Colorado for a super duper quick trip. I flew in yesterday and I’ll be back home tonight. 🙂 I can’t stand to be away from the monkey and the hubs for too long.
I’ve got a confession. I’m in a HUGE crafting rut. I’ve been in one for quite some time, and I’m having a hard time pulling myself out. Most of it is just life getting in the way…you know how that goes…
Anywho, I wanted to give myself a little encouragement and motivation so I made myself a printable. 🙂
If you need a little encouragement too or if you’re just in a sunny kind of mood, then feel free to snag this sweetie! 🙂 Click on the image to open it in full resolution, right click on the image and select Save Image As, save the file, open it, resize it if needed, and print. Both of these files are huge! They are big enough to be printed as posters! 🙂
Instructions for Making Custom Clip-On Earrings
- Tulle fabric
- Poly satin fabric
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Clip-on earring bases
- Measuring tape
- Optional embellishments (rhinestones, beads, etc.)
Prepare the Tulle
Start by cutting the tulle into strips according to the desired size for your earrings. Make sure the strips are even and smooth for a polished look.
Create the Volume
Take multiple layers of the tulle strips and gather them together at the center. This will create a fuller appearance, which is essential for making your earrings stand out.
Prepare the Poly Satin Circles
Cut out circles from the poly satin fabric. Make sure the circles are slightly larger than the gathered tulle to create a nice frame.
Layer the Components
Place the gathered tulle on top of the satin circle. Use hot glue to secure them together, ensuring that it holds tightly.
Additional Personalization
Consider adding embellishments like rhinestones or beads on top of the tulle for added flair. This step is optional but adds a special touch to your earrings.
Attach the Clip-On Earring
Use your hot glue gun to attach the earring base to the back of the layered combo. Allow it to dry completely before handling.
Prepare the Shoes
If you’re making these to match a specific outfit, lay out your shoes to see how they coordinate with the earrings. This can help with your overall outfit planning.
Make Additional Pairs
Now that you have the hang of it, use different colors and fabrics to create multiple pairs of earrings. Each pair can have its unique vibe.
