Something to go with a Gaia-look
I was organizing my collection of beads when I came across a collection of snail shells and got the idea to turn them into earrings.
I already have a necklace with a pretty orange shell on it, these earrings will complete the look.

Step 8
Get your snail shells.
I already had these lying around. This is how they are prepared for jewelry making:
- Find an empty snail shell that is still intact. Clean it out with water.
- Fill it up with glue from a glue gun. This makes them less fragile.
- When that has hardened out use a drill size 1 to drill a hole near the edge of the shell, through the glue. This is tricky because the edges can still break, so go slowly. -
Step 11
Sorry, no picture of this.
Prick a hole in your blue leather piece with the needle, on the top, where your earring hook will come.
Add a jump ring through it. (This requires some wriggling)
Tie the leather strip with the shell on it to the jump ring.
