Steps (7 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Die cut leaves from leather scraps with the Sizzix Big Shot.

  2. 2

    Trim the stems and punch holes in the top of the leaves.

  3. 3

    Gather the rest of the materials.

  4. 4

    Slide a bead on a headpin and make half a wrapped loop. Slide onto the chain and wrap the loop. Repeat with six beads on each chain.

  5. 5

    Here are the finished chains. I used copper chain, headpins and dark red glass beads.

  6. 6

    Attach the chain to the leaf with a jump ring and close.

  7. 7

    Use another jump ring to attach the ear wire to the first jump ring. This allows the leaf to hang correctly. These earrings are easy personalize by choosing a different color or type of leather or different beads and findings.
