I have recently discovered I LOVE lace, so much so that I couldn't even bear to through away the scraps after my last project. So, of course, I decided to make earrings! I apologize for the poor quality photos- this was my first attempt at posting all of the how-to steps :)

Instructions

1. 

   Your supplies! I also recommend a small clip or clamp (I'll explain later), though it is not necessary.

2. 

   Cut the wire according to the size you want the earrings to be, then twist it around into the shape you want (for example, oval, circle, triangle, etc.)

3. 

   Cut out a piece of lace that is slightly bigger than your wire outline.

4. 

   This is probably the most time consuming step: you're going to fold the extra flap of lace around the wire, then sew around the wire to secure the lace. TIP: A small clamp of some sort is a good idea to secure the lace to the wire as you're sewing.

5. 

   Once you have sewn all around the wire, take a pair of scissors and trim the excess lace from the earrings.

   Tah Dah!!
