Nuts About You Earrings
About this design:
I was in the mood to create a little fall design, so I tried creating these little acorn earrings. These would be cute as home decor too:)
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
You will need two 11.5mm acorn bead caps, (2) 15mm felt rounds, gold head pins, and ear wire. I recommend using round nose pliers.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Cut the very end of your head pin at a sharp angle so you can easily push it through the felt. |
|
Step 2: Add your bead cap on. Create a loop with your pliers and wrap the wire around the base of the loop a few times. I tied on a little thread to look like a stem. |
