DIY Earrings

I pulled out my jewelry supplies this week and got busy!  My goal was to make some earring for some new shirts I got for our upcoming cruise, and once I got started and just couldn’t stop!  Making jewelry is really fun and I want to make a whole lot more.

Here’s what I made this week:

These are so cute and I love the way they look, but seed beads are of the devil!    DSC_3232-2

These were actually pendants for necklaces that I got when Robert’s Craft closed.  I thought they would make cute earrings…and they do! DSC_3234DSC_3237-2

And everyone’s favorite flower earrings…I’ve made these before and they are super easy.  I made 25 pairs in about 10-15 minutes!  DSC_3239

I have a lot more beads to make into fantastic creations, I’m just waiting on more jump rings and ear hooks, etc from china ;)  If you are looking for cheap supplies, there are lots of Etsy stores that sell from outside the US that sell bulk jewelry supplies for cheap {it just takes a few weeks to get to you, usually!} 

If you are looking for a good start to jewelry making, I found a really good series about learning the techniques at My Girlish Whims.
