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 :)
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!!
