Paper Quilling Earrings

Untitled-1.jpg

Making a pair of earrings with everyday items is a challenge. For me, the paper is the everyday item I chose for this instructable. I hope you enjoy this project and try to make your own jewelry with that method.

Qulling

if you want the final result to be a perfect roll then it would be good to use a quilling needle tool. For me, the imperfect look you get using only your hands is what I prefer for this project. I start to fold the edge of the paper and along the paper, I spread a minimal amount of glue. When the white strip is wrapped I continue with a strip of a different color to get a pattern. The variations that you can make either in the combination of colors or in the size are endless!

Insert Small Pins

Αs soon as the glue has dried, with the use of a small drill I open a hole to screw the small eye pins into the paper roll we have made earlier.

Last Step

In this last step, all we have to do is assemble the ear wire hooks. I hope this project was a source of inspiration and a reminder that we can make something so beautiful with simple materials easily and quickly in our home!

Thank you!
