You will need the following tools and materials to make these rhinestone crystal earrings.
1: Two strands of rhinestone crystals. I made mine approximately 12cm long.
2: Two larger rhinestones.
3: Two glue on stud earrings with backs.
4: Araldite glue
5: A skewer.
6: Scrap Paper.
Follow these steps to make your rhinestone crystal earrings:
1: Squeeze the Araldite glue out into equal parts and mix it on the paper.
2: Add the glue to the edge of the first large rhinestone.
3: Drape one of the rhinestone strands around the rhinestone and set it aside to dry. I recommend placing them on a cutting mat so that you don’t get paper stuck on your earrings.
4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second set of rhinestones.
5: Add more glue to the earrings and place them on the back of the large rhinestones.
Once your earrings are dry they’re ready to wear! How perfect are these?
