Watch the quick video here:
1. & 2. Drill holes for the beads and earring wires and then paint the surface of the wood pieces 3. & 4. Cut out the images and glue them to the wood *I used E-6000 Spray because the moisture relaxes the paper so it doesn't bubble 5. When the images are dry, punch through the holes with a toothpick 6. Seal the images with a polycrylic or decoupage medium 7. Create the dangly bits on a head pin with the pliers and make sure to bend a loop at the top *You will need 3 dangly bits per earring so 6 per pair 8. Hand them from the holes with jump rings 9. Glue clips on the backs of another pair with E-6000 Glue
