You Will Need (6 things)
- Scissors
- Craft Glue
- Earrings with a flat back that can take glue
- Stiff Interfacing or thin cardboard or leather
- Paint
- Glitter Nail Polish (optional)
Steps (5 steps, 60 minutes)
-
1
Cut out the interfacing, thin cardboard or leather to a shape/shapes that can be stuck to the backs of a pair of earrings. Experiment by holding them up to your ears to check what the shape will look like once attached. I cut these shapes to look like leaves because the earrings look a little like flowers, but you can make whatever shape you like.

2
Paint interfacing shapes whatever colour you like. I used green to make the shapes look like leaves. Leave to dry.

3
If necessary, glue the shapes together in the position you need them to sit behind the earrings. Coat with glitter nail polish if desired.
-
4
Carefully position shapes onto backs of earrings (I used clip-ons but you can use pierced earrings as long as the back surface is flat and big enough). Glue shapes on to earrings and leave to dry.
