If I can make it why buy it?...Sometimes...

Hi Ladies!

OK so last week I went on an unintended Jewelry Haul at Forever 21.I REALLY had intended to buy some cheap studs to adorn my head warmer...lol I will show you that at a later time..
But while there I saw these Hoops
Cute right?.....Mmkay well I have a well endowed face/head lol.I embrace it and these babies are small.I don't like medium hoops I feel the same about medium hoops as I do about 3/4 sleeves.I dunno ya'll I cant do them ..it's either or.I digress...so I picked the earrings up and realized they were pliable(bendable) and so I that for $4.80 I'd bend them to the length and shape I wanted.Have you ever done that?
Here's the pic.I got so many compliments!People actually thought I made them.

Adorning,
Keoka

Flower Earrings from my fave D.I.Y 'er SEMI

THE d.i.y Tutorial HERE
You guys know I LOVE leather...so I basically did my own rendition with this scrap leather a nice big piece of Khaki /Olive green sueded leather :-)
Here is how it turned out
Results...
.

She used Hooks but I decided to give it a clip back and added Gold domes as the flower centers.
How do you like?
It was fun and took all of about 45 min...ONLY because I didn't have a petal template.If you are going to do this without using actual flower pieces I suggest that you print a Petal template form offline or freehand draw one on a piece of stiff paper or card stock.That is so that you are able to trace it onto your fabric.
Enjoy!
