DIY: FRINGE EARRINGS

HELLO!!!

You need:

• Tassel Curtain Trimmings (got mine from Tejuosho market)
• Earring wire hook (i.e the piece that hangs from your ear; I recycled pieces from my broken earrings)
• jump rings or connectors (i.e the ring shaped piece; also recycled)
• Gem clips or any long pin
• sharp scissors
• small plier

How to:

1. First, Decide which tassel on the trimming you want to use, mine came with two different designs and i had done one earlier so i chose the other design for this tutorial.
2. Cut a pair out. Make sure that you cut it carefully leaving some of the thread in the hoop used to attach the whole tassel to the band. 
3. Carefully substitute the loose thread hanging from the hoop with a long pin (i used a straightened office pin in my case), this can be skipped if you can carefully achieve step 4 with the short thread still in the hoop.
4. With the office pin or thread still in the hoop, pass the jump ring or connector gently into the hoop and then the earring hook as well.
5. Close the connector with your teeth like in my case or a plier. 
6. And voila.
7. you have your new tassel earring.

This tassel earring DIY is a fun and easy piece. I like that just like I did, you can do it with items off your accessories box, you can skip step 3 to 5 by using round earring clasps like i have in the flat lay if the hoop is wide enough. In my case the hoop was too narrow so it didn't pass through so i went with the longer option.


I have worn and worn my earrings a lot since i did them and they are durable and safe.Also investing in a yard of tassel this period is perfect as you could join me as i explore the remaining tassels as time goes on. I think it was about 600Naira per yard but please don't quote me.
