Acetate Earring Party
About this design:
These acetate pieces are great for creating simple & quick statement earrings. For my designs, I paired the acetate with thread beads, Czech glass, gold focals, & gemstones.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
Acetate focals, thread beads, Czech glass, potato pearls, amazonite chips, super glue, gold 12mm jump rings, gold figa fist focal, gold charms, earwires, jump rings.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Make bead links with the amazonite chips & pearls. Attach tp the monstera leaf focal with a jump ring. Slide onto an earwire. |
|
Step 2: Attach the circle charm to the acetate with a jump ring. Use wire to make a bead link with the thread bead. Attach the bottom of the link to the jump ring & the top to the earwire. |
|
Step 3: Use wire to make a bead link with the Czech glass round. Attach the bottom of the link directly to the acetate & slide the top of the link onto an earwire. |
|
Step 4: Slide the 12mm jump ring into the figa fist. I placed a drop of glue inside the fist so the jump ring won't slide around. Use a jump ring to attach the acetate coin link to the 12mm jump ring. Attach the gold charm to the bottom of the link with a jump ring. Slide onto an earwire. |
