Beginning DIY Jewelry: Leather and Silver Earrings
Use pre-cut leather shapes to make on trend jewelry
Basic jewelry supplies are available at every craft store, local bead store, and even Walmart. What you'll need for these are:
- Leather Jewelry Shapes
- Jump Rings
- Head Pins
- Beads / Charms
- Jewelry Pliers
You can check out You Tube for basic jewelry steps like opening jump rings and wrapped loops:
How to Open and Close Jump Rings
Thread charms and beads as desired onto a head pin and close with a wrapped loop.
Attach your threaded eye pins to the leather shapes using jump rings. Finish with clips or ear wires, attached with jump rings.
Note: I don't have pierced ears so an additional step for me is making the clip pieces. Since pierced ears far outnumber clippies like me, I am not including that step but if you need it, please contact me!
Use the same process with different beads for a different but equally fun look!
Two new pairs of earrings ( including one pair perfect for Valentine's season) for less than the cost of one already made, and done to match your unique style!
I picked up my leather shapes and jump rings on sale at JoAnn so pricing reflects that.
