Paper Earrings Tutorial with Sarinda
I used to make jewelry before I started doing glass work. So I am always looking for different ways to create jewelry. I have been loving the paper line from Basic Grey What's Up.... and the colors are perfect for some jewelry. This is so very simple... I promise.
All you need is a few basic paper supplies and two jewelry hand tools. Wire snips and barrel tip pliers or needle nose pliers will work.
Paper: Basic Grey What's Up? Cut strips of the paper, I did mine 1"x6".
Glossy Accents Glue
Small wooden dowel or toothpick
Razor Blade
Wire or Headpins with the loops at one end
Earring wires
Wire snips
Needle nose pliers
Step 1:
Cut your strips of paper to your desired length and thickness. Mine are 1"x6".
Step 4:
Glue the edge with Glossy Accent... This image is not quite accurate... I had a hard time holding the camera and the glue at the same time.... I opened up the cylinder about half of a wind and place the glue. Then once the glue is set you can remove the cylinder from the dowel.
Then repeat so that you have two.
I was on a roll and made a whole bunch......
Step 5:
Slip the head pin with the loop at one end into the paper cylinder.
Step 6:
Make another loop at the end to secure the paper cylinder to the wire.
Step 7:
Attach the looped end to the earring wire and close. Repeat...
There you have it now you can go out on the town with your new jewels... ;D
