DIY - Cardboard earrings


What is more fun and chic than making our very own pair of earrings with recycled cardboard?

I went with a geometric shape and ethnic inspiration designs. Of course, these earrings can be personalized.


 

Materials

  • Pencil and ruler

  • Scissors (or cutter knife + a cutting mat)

  • White glue

  • Acrylic paint + paint brush

  • Earrings hooks + Jump rings

  • Thin recycled cardboard sheet

  • Hole puncher (small hole)

  • Glossy Mod Pogde (optional)


 

Instructions


Step #1

Trace and cut 2 identical shapes no longer than 2 inches. I like to do a template on white paper first.


Step #2

Make 2 holes (these will be for the hooks)



Step #3

Draw a design on each earring. I usually make them symmetric.



Step #4


Paint, let it dry and waterproof with Mod Podge if you want.



Step #5


Hook it up, and show your friends your unique cardboard earrings!
