DIY: TASSELS EARRINGS

GET THESE BEAUTIFUL MUSTARD EARRINGS INTO YOUR SUMMER WARDROBE, LIKE NOW.

WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO NEED:

  • TASSELS. I got mine on sale from Lincraft as part of a curtain tie (wow, my thriftyness knows no bounds). 
  • EARRING HOOK. I chose the clasp kind, but you could just as easily use a hook - this second version if probably the easiest if you're a first time DIYer. 
  • JEWELLERY PLIERS. Pretty much essential.
  • JUMP RING / LONG SILVER JEWELLERY POSTS
  • SCISSORS
  • A COOL BEAD. If you want.. I got these at Lincraft. 
THE PROCESS: 
CLICK THE IMAGE FOR A BETTER LOOK. 
1. If you have bought the tassel as part of a curtain tie - separate the tassel from the tie.

2. / 3. / 4. Then you want to start hooking up your long silver post to the earring hook. You do this by manipulating the post around the hook. Keep twisting and bending the post to twist around the earring hook. This definitely takes a bit of effort ;) 

5. Hook on the bead, if you wanted to use one. 

6. Now you want to manipulate the post and hook in to the tassel. Again you want to weave in and out and twist and bend the post around itself. 

7. All ready to go. 

8. Now you want to just hook on the tassel part to your earring. 

THE GREAT ABOUT THIS PROJECT IS THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY MAKING INTERCHANGEABLE TASSEL EARRINGS

SO YOU CAN JUST REPEAT THE PROCESS TO ANY COLOURED TASSEL AND JUST HOOK THIS TO THE EARRING AND AWAY YOU GO. THE PERFECT COLOUR TASSEL EARRINGS FOR ANY OCCASION
