A unique pair of earrings is a must for every girl! Why not make your own unique fabric earrings that no one else will be wearing? This is a fun and easy beginner-level craft, just choose from our vast selection of decorative fabrics and get started! Warning: You may want to make many, many pairs!
Fabric earrings add color and communicate your unique sense of style. Bring out your inner jewelry designer with our beautiful fabrics!
You will need:
- Wooden discs (or other shapes, depending on desired style of earring). You can buy these in various sizes. Pro-tip: If you can find some with the holes already drilled, it will save you that step!
- Fabric. Select a few fabrics that you love, so that you are prepared when the urge strikes to make another pair!
- Jump ring and earring hook or clasp
- The all-powerful Mod Podge! (Or fabric adhesive of your choice).
- White paint (optional)
Plain wooden discs form the base for this project
Glue the sides down firmly, then cover remaining wood with another circle of fabric. You may use a coordinating fabric for the other side!
What to do:
- Paint the wood white if desired, it will brighten the look of the fabric in some instances. Allow to dry completely.
- Coat the wood with Mod Podge on one side and lay onto fabric.
- Snip the fabric around it, leaving just enough to cover the sides.
- Carefully glue the sides down.
- Next, glue a round piece of fabric to the other side, covering all of the wood.
- Drill a small hole through the earring. If a hole exists, press a pin through the fabric.
- Finally, add a jump ring and hook and you are ready to rock your new fabric earrings!
Slip the jump ring and hook through the earring
