Mother Will Love These DIY Earrings on Her Special Day

Hello! Jamie here today. Hope you are ready to learn how to make these fabulous acrylic earrings.  Our designer, Jewellee, was here in Saint Louis last week and she designed these. Just in time for you to order and make up for the mothers in 
your life! So here we go....ENJOY!




Supplies:
Items with * have a link to the Craft Chameleon products


* Double J Earwires

2 Bent Nose Pliers or needle nose pliers

  E6000 or the adhesive of your choice



DIY Daisy & Post Earrings

Remove all the protective plastic from both sides of your acrylic pieces. Remove only the front plastic on the flower centers. Like the daisy above, if your piece has some white on it, you can remove it with your fingernail.


Now peel off the release paper backing to reveal the adhesive on the round flower center.


Locate the center and press the round acrylic firmly in place. Allow 24 hours plus to fully cure. 



Now we are ready to assemble! 


Take your oval jump ring and twist to open using the 2 bent nose pliers. Slide the glitter 1 side acrylic Daisy and Leaf onto the oval jump. Make sure they are facing each other. Then close the jump ring reversing the twist action.



Flip the leaf portion up and lay the entire piece down. Next, let's attach the post!



Using the Craft Chameleon 5mm pad post earring, glue at the top of the leaf. We suggest E6000 but you can use the adhesive of your choice. it is best to rough up both the acrylic and the metal pad with an emery board to provide a bit of tooth for any adhesive.





Let adhesive cure for designated time for best results. Wow, so cute, so fast and such a great gift! Ready for something even faster and easier BUT just as cute? Here we go!


DIY Daisy Dangle Earrings

This time we will only need the daisies and the centers and 1 pair of our Double J ear-wires. Take off the clear protective film from all surfaces. 



Remove the release paper from the back side of the centers, locate on top of the daisy and press firmly in place. 


Slide the daisy onto the Double J ear-wire. Then bend the ball portion of the wire back to lock the flower in place. Oh no, you didn't just make a set of fabulous daisy earrings in less than a few minutes! Oh yes, I did!
