DIY: Those expensive looking statement earrings.

 
An easy tutorial on how you can DIY your own pair of expensive looking statement earrings.

Inspirations: I'm a definite window shopper when it comes to expensive jewellery pieces, the only jewellery I will splurge on is a watch... and that's because it's functional. After window shopping a bajillion times on earrings that I want in my possession, I decided "hey! cut the crap and make your own." 

Verdict: Cheap to make and sturdy! I spent about $5AU on the materials (with the beading) at the dollar store, everything else I had at home. 


Materials You Will Need:
  • Pair of scissors
  • PVC (bought from fabric stores)
  • Beads/Jems (Dollar Store)
  • 2 Earring Head Pins (Dollar Store)
  • Quality Industrial Glue (E-6000 from Ebay)


Step One:
Arrange the design of your earrings and how you would like the Beads/Jems to be glued.











Step Two:
Glue the pieces down onto your PVC.

Allow to dry.












Step Three:
Cut out your piece as close to the beads as possible. Try and avoid the PVC peeking through the front view of your jewellery piece. 










Step Four:
Glue your Earring Head Pins at the back of each earring.
Allow adequate time for everything to dry.




Gorgeous! You have now completed your own pair of expensive looking statement earrings. Enjoy making!
