  1. Step 1

    I am not going to give directions on how to prepare plastic bags for crocheting.
    You can google "how to crochet plastic bags" for those directions)

  2. Step 2

    Crochet a chain long enough to slide around your head, do not join. Turn and sc in each chain
    across, fasten off.


  3. Step 3

    Crochet your favorite flower motif or free form a flower. I did not use a pattern. I crocheted one from my head. (Make three) Attach one to center of chain. The other two will be used for earrings.

  4. Step 4

    Paint or spray paint with your favorite color on both sides. Let one side dry before paining the other side. I did not paint my chain section. (You can spray with clear gloss spray paint).


  5. Step 5

    Attach jump ring to earrings and then add to fish hook earrings.
