I like candy corn - but I would not dare wear candy corn-colored earrings. So I figured orange ombre can be a good substitute, you know, for Halloween festivities. It's pretty easy, takes about 15 minutes (or less) to whip up.
Ready to start this project? Here's what you do:
No need to explain, right? Super easy peasy. Make a total of four ombre circles, and stick back to back. Don't forget to punch circles for the jump rings first, it's hard to punch after there are too many layers. And then attach your earring hooks. :)
If you want, you could also glaze it with diamond glaze or a similar paper glaze to be more sturdy and glossy. What do you think? Have a good weekend! :)
Great! So 70's
ReplyDeleteYeah, it is. I didn't think of that! :)
DeleteClever idea! And not just for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteYes, I made a sea green ombre and I absolutely love it more than this. :3

DeleteThis is impressive!!! I always have tons of extra paint chips lying around too.
ReplyDeleteI horde them. It's unstoppable. @_@

ReplyDeleteThanks Peg! :)

ReplyDeleteglad you like it! :)
DeleteThis is fantastic! Featured you at Saved By Love Creations.
ReplyDeletethanks for the feature Johnnie! :3
DeleteI love these! I think I would use the same idea to make a pendant since I usually wear smaller earrings. If it's a non-painting project that incorporates paint chips, I'm in!
ReplyDeleteI would probably have a lot of projects like that in the future, since I'm so obsessed with how easy to make jewelry from them o.o
DeleteI love these!! Probably a stupid question but what did you use to cut the different lengths of the circles so perfectly?? A coin?
ReplyDeleteI used a 1 1/2" circle punch and just eyeballed the gradation. :)
Deletethanks! so you just used a circle punch to make all the different lengths to? and did you use a circle punch for the hole for the earring hooks? haha sorry for all the questions
DeleteYeah, I only used the 1 1/2" circle punch for all the circles (even the half ones and so on) and I used I think a 1/8" circle punch for the hole for the earring hooks, and lol it's okay :3
DeleteThe gradation is a brilliant approach!
ReplyDeletePS Okay to feature it in a future blog post so others can come visit?
