I love to make jewellery. I made my mother earrings and a pendant for christmas. Here I want to show you the earrings I made step by step.
I always start with one main thing, the pearls or the leather and than I think about the rest, what could be a perfect match with the color, what color does the person who gets them wear, etc. I thought about leather tassel earrings with pearls...
choosing the right pearls...
What color should the leather be? A craft knife and glue is needed...
eraser, pencil and a ruler too...
also steel wire and some tools...
take two pieces of the wire ( as long as you need, it´s your choice) and remodel one end of each piece (you can also buy these in craft shops ready in pieces with these ends)...
Cut a piece of the leather. Mine was around 10cm long and 6cm high. Then cut the tassels around 5cm long, so that there is one cm no cut..
Cut that piece in two..
put some glue on the other side of a piece and roll it around the wire piece so that the remodeled end is there where the tassels start.
Then it´s time for the pearls and remodeling the other end in the same way then the other. You need clips or the pieces for pierced ears. Between the ear piece and these pendants you need to make or to buy for each earring one roundish wire piece, like you can see in the result pic. That is needed for the earring to move smoothly when wearing them. My mother doesn´t have pierced ears, so I used clips.
Et voilà, here is the result:
I love them! I have to make these kind of earrings for myself too.
