The crafty, affordable and personalized alternative.
 <  Image 1 of 2  > 

As much as I'd love a pair of real Chanel earrings, I simply can't afford them with all the craft supplies I've got to buy, and if I did get some, everyone else would be wearing them too. So here's my cheap, crafty and personalized alternative!

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    First of all you're going to need to make a template -unless your name is Cat then you can just use my template (I suggest printing out my template anyway so that you can get your size right).

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Draw around the template on to shrink plastic. I used white but you can pick whatever colour you like. Remember to flip the template and draw the reverse too. I only wanted one earring but if you want two, do this twice, so that you have 4 letters in total.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Cut these letters out. Use a cutting knife to cut the smaller, inside letters out. Lay one on top of the other in the position you would like them to go.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Hold the letter and it's reverse together and punch a hole at the top, in the middle, through both letters.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    Shrink the letters in the oven until small.

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    Line up the two holes and glue one letter on top of the other.

  7. Step 7

    Step 7

    Embellish with rhinestone crystals. Use tweezers to pick them up, dab in strong, clear adhesive glue and stick in place.

  8. Step 8

    Step 8

    Slip a jump ring through the hole, slip on to a chain and attach the chain to an earring hook.

  9. Step 9

    Step 9

    Wear proudly and go craft shopping with all the money you've saved :D
