  Step 1

  Place the gemstones on the fabric to visualize the layout of the piece.

• 

  Step 2

  When you've decided on where you want your stones, cut the fabric around them.

• 

  Step 3

  Remove the gemstones and cut another matching piece of fabric for the other earring.

• 

  Step 4

  Use an open flame to seal the edges of the fabric. (Use the heat from the flame - not the flame itself, lest it blacken the fabric like it did mine..unless that's what you want!)

• 

  Step 5

  Use fabric glue to affix the tulle over the fabric.

• 

  Step 6

  (I used two layers since my tulle is colored similarly to my fabric and I wanted it to stand out more.)

• 

  Step 7

  Re-attach the gemstones using Jewel-It! glue.

• 

  Step 8

  Allow to dry.

• 

  Step 9

  Use pliers to poke a jumpring through each piece.

• 

  Step 10

  Attach another jumpring and the French wires to finish your earrings.

  Wear with a calculating smirk to complete the privileged Upper-East-Sider look.
