I'm back with another Fall themed jewelry project!
I love making jewelry. I have to admit though: I'm really not that quick at it. It takes me a long time to design a piece and then when I do get around to creating it I'm always watching a show at the same time and sometimes get distracted.
These earrings, however, were a welcome change. The design AND creation process really only took me about ten minutes. Success! I think I need to work in a mix of more easy projects like this more frequently!!
These earrings don't take a lot of time, and they don't take many supplies either. All you will need are some leaf charms (mine are from WholePort), large jump rings, a small jump ring, earring hooks, and needle nose pliers.
To start, open a jump ring and add on one leaf charm.
Close the first jump ring. Open a second jump ring and connect it to the first
Add a leaf charm onto either side and then close.
Continue until the earring reaches your desired length. On the last jump ring string on a small jump ring and then attach an earring hook to it.
Voila. A quick and easy pair of earrings!
I like how up close you can tell that they are leaves, but from further away they just look like silver dangles.
I think that makes them very fitting for fall, but still perfect to wear all year-round!
I'm linking up with these parties:
Tuesdays: Take-a-Look Tuesday, Show Me What Ya Got, Homework
Wednesdays: Your Whims Wednesday, Creative Share Wednesday, We did it Wednesday, Sugar and Spice, Whatever Goes Wednesday, Show & Share, The 36th Avenue
Thursdays: Catch a Glimpse
Sundays: Sunday Showcase, Think Pink Sundays
These are so cute! :) <3 them!
ReplyDeleteThis is My kind of project! TV Isn't a distractor for me...but due to a brain injury I fall asleep while I'm making items and that often means strings of beads coming undone everywhere or something. .. I am pretty sure I could get a pair of these done before nodding off!
ReplyDeleteAnd, They LOOK GREAT TOO!
