Dimensional Easter Egg Earrings

April 2, 2014 Leave a Comment

Dimensional Easter Egg Earrings DIY at Hands Occupied

I feel like Ms. Frizzle would 100% wear these earrings given half a chance. They’re about as festive as it gets, and they involve ribbon and sparkle. I’m a huge DIY accessory lover, and part of what I love is making accessories you might not find in stores. These, admittedly are totally cray, but for something I’ll wear for fun to an Easter brunch or egg hunt? Heck yes I’m going to hang a couple of sparkle Easter eggs on my ears! Maybe I’ll even pair them with my astro turf Peter Pan collar…

Supplies

2 sets of mod podge podgeable shapes, basic designs – you need one large oval from each
pencil
white paper
ric rac
thin ribbon
scissors
mod podge
small paint brush
Mod Podge Dimensional Magic in silver glitter
2 earwires
2  6mm or 7mm jump rings
jewelry pliers

Directions

Start by tracing your podgeable shapes on some clean scrap paper.

Cut out the shapes, leaving a notch for the circle at the top. Paint a layer of Mod Podge on the back of your Podgeable Shape and place your paper cutout, lining up the edges.

Paint another layer of Mod Podge over the outside of the paper. Let dry completely.

Flip over your ovals. Cut your ribbons to fit the width of your ovals where you plan on placing them.

Paint Mod Podge on the non-paper side of your oval and place your ribbons.

Then, paint a second thick layer over your ribbons, covering them completely. Let dry.

The last step is applying your Dimensional Magic. I have a few tips regarding glitter Dimensional Magic. The glitter settles at the bottom of the bottle, so you’ll want to take advantage of the flat-topped lid by letting it stand upside down for 10 or 15 minutes. This lets the glitter shift so it’s better mixed throughout the bottle.

To avoid bubbles on your finished project, prime your Dimensional Magic bottle by squeezing some out onto a test surface.

Next, fill in each earring with a layer of Dimensional Magic. If you see any bubbles on your earrings while the Dimensional Magic is wet, you can pop them with a sharp needle or scoop them out. Let your earrings dry for 24 hours undisturbed.

Finally, all you have left to do is attach an earwire to each earring using a 7mm jump ring and a set of jewelry pliers.

Look familiar? I first shared this project over at Mod Podge Rocks! last Easter.

My wardrobe could use another handmade sweater - I’m thinking something simple, seamed and with a decent amount of ease for potentially wearing tucked in with jeans or skirts. 🤔

In knitting, there are a few common knitting styles. Most often you’re going to encounter continental style and English (throwing) style on your knitting journey. I recently had an old video teaching continental style get a lot of views. Based on the comments, it was clear the people wanted to also see a throwing tutorial, so here you go! 🧶
.
Please note that there is a LOT of variation in knitting styles, and one isn’t necessarily better than another. Most often, I’ve found it comes down to two things: how you were taught and whether or not you’re really into colorwork knitting (which can involve a mix of styles). 
.
Longer-term knitters who’ve made it this far: do you prefer one over the other? And why?

I read recently that tiktok and Instagram are being used as search engines more and more. 🤔 I thought since I’m going to all the work of making tutorials on YouTube, I should experiment with making a quick version of them for other platforms. There are obvious teaching limitations to vertical video, short-form content like this, but I think I covered the gist of this cast on in a minute. The YouTube version also covers how to unzip this cast on because there was time for it 👍🏻 L1nk is in my profile. 
.
I’m very much looking for feedback as I continue to make instructional knitting & craft videos. Sometimes good tutorials are hard to find, and (ideally polite) feedback helps me improve.

The post covers what provisional cast ons are & how they differ, and the video covers how to work a one-step provisional cast on using scrap yarn and a crochet hook. (This is a great one to save for future reference.)

I learned several names for this method while researching this video & post. Crochet provisional cast on, one-step cast on, scrap yarn cast on - if you know even more names for this technique, please share!
