DIY 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.

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]
