Flora earring
My favorite earring for the spring.
To make:
- Take any square base for the earring size you need and make a square by wrapping green followed by pink color strip and keep it aside.
- Make a loose coil with pink in the middle and green outer.
- Shape it as tulip leaf and fix to the corner of the square.
- Next make pink loose coils and shape it to a triangle.
- Fix all the triangles in the opposite corner and attach earring wire.
Big blue
Do you want an earring with many shades? Here is it. I some times become lazy to search for the shades matching to my blue dresses, so thought of combining all the blue shades and made this big blue earring.
To make:
- First we need a base big drop, for that take 2 darker strip and a lighter strip.
- Start wrapping around the desired size with darker strip inside.
- Now make the circle to a drop shape by pressing one point.
- Next we have to make small circles of different shades.
- Make a tight coil of all the shades together.
- Arrange the small circles with the tight coil in the center and stick them .
- To fix the earring wire make a small circle and stick in the tear end and attach the 'o' ring and ear wire.
Tortoise key chain:
To make:
- First make a large tight coil to the desired size.
- Make a medium size tight coil for the head part and four small coils for the legs.
- Bring all the coils to dome shape and apply glue to the inner side.
- Stick the legs and head to the body part.
- Paint the tortoise body,I have used acrylic paints.
- Let them dry and apply waterproof coating and gloss if u want.
- Attach to the chain.
Leaf Earring:
- I used comb weaving technique to make this shape.
- It is strong and firm as I wrapped the contrast color strip around the shape.
- I have attached a chain to the leaf to swing.
Clock frame:
The design contains floral pattern and creepers.I have done this with black 1" strip .To give extra attraction have painted the clock with metallic gold paint.
