Advice on diy flower earrings!

Linda, on September 3, 2019 at 10:23 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 1 11
Hello all! I need some advice from those who are creative and crafty. I found a pair of earrings online that I absolutely love: they fit my style and match my wedding dress... However, the website is selling them for $270!!! I want to try to make them myself, but I don't know where to begin... Please help? Thank you in advance 💖

    I’ve made jewelry for over 10 years. Truthfully those earrings are FAR beyond my skill level and unlikely to be successfully duplicated by someone with no prior experience with jewelry.
    Youd have to find the flowers, the hoops, make sure they’re secured just right for looks, balance and security, do the wire wrapping for the crystal at the top and then attach it all to an ear wire. Even if I were totally in love with them, I wouldn’t attempt it.
    Good luck.

    Those are the exact earrings that I wanted and for the same reason ($270 on EARRINGS!!) I had to pass but there are similar ones for cheaper? Hope these help! 😊

    Craft stores have lots of options for jewelry pieces, you can search through those selections to see what you can find. Then after you find the pieces, figuring out how to attach everything would be the next, maybe more difficult part.

    Do you want the flowers to be like gems like this, or could you make them with silk flowers? I’ve seen a couple ideas like that on Pinterest!

    I would try YouTube if you were seriously considering. I would think that after purchasing the materials you’d be out at least $60. Then the time alone trying to construct them. I would save $10-20 a month and go about it that way.

    Sigh I really like these for how they are, but I probably won't be about to recreate them. I'll take a look at some craft stores. Thank you, Taylor!

    Thanks, Renee! I may consider your idea of saving money for them, 😅 but I'm not sure yet.
