Hi lovelies! This DIY I had originally intended to go up before the holidays, but the hustle and bustle prevented me from doing so. These earrings are so fun and easy to make, I made pairs for my bf's sisters! While I had all the supplies on hand, they are extremely easy to find/order should you need to do so, and with the leftovers you'll be able to put them to good use! {How-to after the break!}
You'll need:
- E-6000 glue
- 2 pearl beads (use an old necklace or buy a strand at the craft store!)
- 2 6mm octagon hot-fix rhinestone studs (linked to the exact ones I used!)
- 2 Swarovski flatback rhinestones (mine were from my M&J Trimming Blogger Challenge, they measure about 3mm, but the 4mm ones on their website I've linked to may be the same thing)
- Flat earring post studs
- Optional but super helpful: Q-tip, napkin, tweezers, piece of foam
How-to:
- Pierce holes into your piece of foam and insert the earring posts.
- Squeeze some glue onto a napkin, and use a Q-tip to apply some to the flat part of the earring post.
- Firmly adhere your pearl bead, with one hole facing straight down into the stud, the other facing straight up.
- Use your Q-tip to apply some glue to the top hole area of the bead and press on the hot-fix stud.
- Pick up a rhinestone with tweezers and apply a small amount of glue to its backside using your Q-tip. Gently place it in the center of your octagon stud. Press it into place with the tweezers.
- Repeat for the next earring, and let dry overnight.
That's it! They take only a few minutes to make and the end result is so worth it! I love how they remind me of the evil eye, but in its own way. They make a statement and are much more edgy and fun than plain pearl studs.
Want these? I'll be adding them to my etsy shop soon, as I have the materials to make so many! Leave me a comment if you're interested!
