Teal and Brown

I have had these really pretty teal and brown flower beads for awhile.
I have also had brown wooden flower charms for awhile.
I loved both of these, but could never figure out what to make with them.
Then I realized, I should put them together!


I loved how they turned out!
I used beading wire to make these earrings.
I strung the wooden cross charms onto the middle of the wire.
I pulled both sides of the wire together to thread the teal pearl like bead
onto both strands at once.
I then separated the two ends, stringing teal seed beads onto each strand.
I brought the stands back together to string the flower on.
Separating the strands again, I strung more teal seed beads.
I brought the strands back together one last time to add one more teal pearl like bead.
I used a wire crimp to finish the earrings off and hook onto fishhook earring backs.

Upcycled Washers

I love upcycling objects to create new art!
My inspiration for this piece was washers.
Washers come in many different sizes, and can have pretty colors to them.
I decided to create earrings from various sized washers.


These fun earrings are made from washers and butterfly beads!
The butterflies are a greenish brown color.
They have hypoallergenic fishhook earring backs.
They hang apx. 3.25 inches from the fishhook earring.

Slightly industrial, upcycled, and steampunk. Be unique!



I created the earrings by using washers, jump rings, butterfly beads, and headpins.
I took three different sized washers and connected them together using jump rings.
I then connected the top smallest washer to the earring back using two more jump rings.
I ran a headpin through the butterfly beads and made a loop, connecting them to the bottom washer.

Earrings like these are available for purchase in my Etsy shop
