Gilded Gypsy Earrings
by Andrea at Lima on 08/27/20
About this design:
I was so excited to find that the acetatae coin I have been wanting to use in a design fit into the cut-out of this earring perfectly! It adds a finished touch to the cork focal. These are definitley a summer to fall accessory!
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
You will need 2 jet gypsy cork focals, a pair of ear wire, 2 jump rings, and 2 acetate coins. I added in a few more acetate coin and gypsy cork focal options in the product list below.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Attach the acetate coin to the cork with the jump ring. Then attach the ear wire to the cork focal. Ta-da...these simple and stylish earrings are ready to wear! |
