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.

Since it won’t be clean for long, swipe to see w Since it won’t be clean for long, swipe to see what my home studio looks like these days. Nothing will ever quite be like the old Hands Occupied Studio, but I’m pretty pleased with how I shoehorned everything in this space. Function over form + a layer of yarn cuteness-meets-chaos is how I’d describe my creative space needs. 😆 When I was still renting the studio, those needs included “doesn’t rain suspicious brown water from a crack in the ceiling for a year,” so this is an improvement! 😆
.
For a time lapse of the studio organizing and tszuj-ing process, scroll down a couple posts on my feed. (There’s also a video or two featuring the old studio if you’re curious.) Happy June, friends!

Who doesn’t love magic loop knitting? Who doesn’t know what it is? How about when circular needles were invented?

Finally organizing & putting the finishing touches Finally organizing & putting the finishing touches on my home studio. After losing my studio space last fall, it’s feels really great to *occupy* this new space all the way. 😉
.
I started by removing general clutter & returning straggler supplies from various WIPs, videos & design deadlines to their homes. Next, I hung a third peg board in the space - this one is mostly for display and less for organizing tools or projects. For the first time ever, I’m displaying projects from my book, plus a couple other faves. (The best thing about designing more yarn crafts besides knit & crochet is that I have some really fun -and delightfully pettable 😆- samples around.) I finished by adding a square dowel to my small supply storage tower to keep it from tipping over, plus re-arranging and de-cluttering the closet. 
.
This cleaner space already has me feeling so much more creative and less overwhelmed. Now to find a safe spot in the basement for the tower of project samples in Rubbermaid tubs I liberated from my WIPs closet. Also why are there five?! 
.
Here’s to keeping it clean for a few weeks! 🧶
