How to Create a Pretty Pair of Summer Flower Earrings
I wanted to find a way to use these pretty enamelled flowers and think that these lovely sunshine yellow flower heads would make gorgeous summer dangle earrings.
I use round nosed pliers which make fixings of jump rings and pins easy.
I curl a head pin into a little curled hook. First I cut off with normal pliers the head of the pin.
I squeeze the fixing tight once I put yellow flower on. Repeat process for the other earring.
Next is the nice design process finding beads to match. I look at so many different colours and types but in the end decide on keeping this yellow and using glass beads.
I close up the head pin into a little loop for the sterling silver earring hook to fix onto. I use the round nosed pliers again to tighten these up and secure firm. It’s just a case of opening putting loop
on the hook and closing tight again. I prefer to use sterling silver ear hooks as they don’t irritate ears.
I’m so happy to see the finished result! They sure are sunny and bright for a summers day!
Enjoyed the project?
