Here's an easy tutorial for the earrings that I made last month. Thanks for your encouragement Crafty Hope! Stop by her blog for more crafty goodness!
I made these with rope from Hemptique:
I used the natural but it comes in a lot of different colors and combinations.
For the wire hoops, I used TierraCast Charm Keepers in the 32mm size. You could also make your own hoops with some heavy wire.
The other materials are 24 gauge wire in Vintage Bronze and a pair of brass ear wires.
For this tutorial, I'm using hoops that I made myself from 16 gauge copper wire. I hammered them after I made the hoop to give it some texture and harden the wire.
Cut 2 1/2" lengths of the rope. Cut about 4" of the 24 gauge wire. Fold the rope over the hoop and wrap the 24 gauge wire close to the fold.
Trim the wire and press the ends into the rope. Unravel the rope completely.
Keep adding fringe until it is as full as you like.
Pretty easy, right? This also makes a fun pendant as well as earrings. Have fun with it!
