Bohemian Inspired Earrings

Vicky T.23 Comments

Valentines day is just around the corner so I’ve been very inspired by all the festivities and Bohemian styles.

If you’ve been following my blog for a while you’ve probably noticed that I’m really into making miniatures lately. So incorporating a bohemian theme inspired from earrings I’ve seen online, I decided to make a mini dreamcatcher statement earring. I think this is a very fitting DIY for the Valentines season since the dreamcatcher could be very romantic with a free-spirited vibe.

Materials I used:

  • Wire of any size you’re comfortable with
  • Tape
  • Twine or embroidery thread or both
  • Scissors
  • Thread and needle
  • 1 Bead
  • 1 earring hook
  • Feathers

Similar to the dreamcatcher I’ve made in a previous post, I taped a wire into a circle of a comfortable size for my ears. Using the same twine from the previous DIY, I wrapped it all the way around the circle and tied a knot to secure. I used embroidery thread to weave in a pattern (I used the same pattern as the larger dreamcatcher that I made).

After I’m done with the weaving, I cut off the excess twine and used the excess to create another knot). I then pulled a thread through it the first knot and through that thread, I attached a bead. With the second knot, I cut off the excess and sewed it in with the bead. Once I was happy with the pattern, I sewed the earring hook on top.

Using the thread and needle, I then sewed in the feathers to the bottom. I poked a hole into the ends of the feather to use as an anchor for sewing it onto the twine covered circle. You could also glue the feathers but I prefer sewing and then once I’m happy with the look of it, the earring was completed. I think the other ear could be a simple stud earring so there’s only one earring to make in this pair.

I’m working on another Bohemian inspired earring which I will post later next week.

Though I’m prepping for another holiday, today is actually the Lunary New Year. Happy Lunar New Year everyone!

P.S. I opened an Etsy shop. Though there’s only one listing for now, please check it when you get the chance!
