This post was originally shared at Crafts Unleashed and may contain affiliate links, which allow me to earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.   I have ALWAYS loved earrings. All kinds of earrings. Delicate studs, edgy ear crawlers, and big, dangly, swingy earrings. My slight obsession may stem from the fact that my dad refused to let me get my ears pierced until I was a teenager, and I had to resort to stick on earrings back in my elementary school days and longingly admire my friends' beautiful pierced earrings from afar. Ha! But whatever the reason for my earring love, I am super stoked ... [Read More]

DIY Gold Crochet Earrings

gold crochet earrings

This post was originally created by me for Darice. So if you have been around here much before, you may have noticed that I like to try to crochet with somewhat unconventional materials. I mean, I like yarn too, but I think one of the coolest things about crochet is that you can do it with pretty much any kind of long, thin, flexible material. I've crocheted jute, leather, and tablecloths, and today, I have a new project for you crocheted out of gold lame thread. Sometimes these unconventional materials can be a little difficult to work with, but the gold lame thread crocheted up easily and has a really fun metallic look. Up close, I think it almost looks like it is made from chains or wire. Super cool, right? Wanna give it a try? To make these pretty little dangly earrings, here's ... [Read More]
