I love these Disney Couture earrings. I love skulls, and coupling that with the embroidery floss wrapped hoop makes for the worlds most perfectest earrings ever. Now at $48, they are definitely affordable. However, I'm not going to spend that much when I can make it for nada using materials I already have!
I really apologize for not taking pics of the actual process, but I used four different colors of embroidery floss, about a yard of each per earring, a pair of plain hoop earrings, some plastic skull beads, and gold spray paint. I spray painted the beads with 2 coats, they maybe could have used 3. The process for the earrings is the same as for my
Anthropologie Swathed Hoops inspired earrings. I pretty much just eyeballed a quarter of the way around for each color, then knotted in the next color, trimming the ends. When I was about halfway through with the third color (green), I threaded the bead onto the embroidery floss and then onto the earring, then resumed knotting the floss around the hoop. This was a very easy project, and there are so many possible variations!
Do you love my "Pirate" earrings? I actually don't think of them as pirate earrings. Just awesome colorblocked earrings with a rad gold skull :)
