These acetate pieces are great for creating simple & quick statement earrings. For my designs, I paired the acetate with wood resin, cork, tassels, gemstones, and druzy links.

Supplies you’ll need:

I used wood resin, cork, tassels, gemstones, and druzy links, wire, glue, and earwires. Shop all 11/0 acetate components.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

I used wire (24 or 26 gauge) to attach wood resin, cork, tassels, gemstones, and druzy links to the acetate. *For the cork earrings, I glued a half circle acetate piece to a cork coin. To fill the two holes of the acetate piece, I trimmed a head pin and stuck it in the hole, through the cork. *
