These handmade earrings not only look beautiful but also make great gifts for friends and family. So, why not give it a try and show off your crafty side with these charming lace earrings?

Supplies:

• Lace bits
• Two jump rings
• Two earring hooks
• Mod Podge Gloss (Mod Podge Stiffy works as well!)

Step One: Cut the bits of lace the length and size you like. Trim edges carefully so the shape is what you want when stiffened.

Step Two: Coat the lace with a medium layer of Mod Podge. If you do this on a plate, peel up and hang to dry.

You can also do this on aluminum foil, wax paper, or a Mod Podge silicone mat. If you do this on one of those options, you can leave the lace to dry before peeling up.

Step Three: Once dry, insert a jump ring into the lace and add the earring pieces. Then wear. You’re going to love how lightweight they are.

Helpful tips: Work in a well-ventilated area when using Mod Podge. If the lace is very delicate, handle it gently when inserting jump rings; you can fold a small edge over the ring to reinforce the attachment point. Experiment with different lace patterns and lengths to create hoops, teardrops, or geometric shapes.

Care: Avoid soaking these earrings in water. If they get dusty, gently brush or wipe them with a dry, soft cloth to preserve the stiffened shape.
