Earrings with Bows

Today, it's all about jewelry! I love making my own jewelry using just about anything: handmade clay, beads and tassels, empty miniature bottles, and even paper bag handles. 

I was really inspired by these earrings that are easy to replicate. Why buy when we can D.I.Y.? 

I found some gold hoop earrings that are pretty to wear as is. But adding something simple as ribbon can change it's look entirely. 

I choose a thin ribbon and cut a total of four strips, each one measuring 8 to 10 inches (this will depend on the diameter of your earrings). 

Wrap one strip tightly on one side of the hoop, leaving a tail and knotting the end on to itself to keep the ribbon from unraveling.   

Do the same on the other side of the hoop using a new strip of ribbon.

Make the tails meet at the center and knot them together.

Then, make a bow.

Repeat on the other hoop using the remaining two strips of ribbon.

Presenting a new look for these old hoops...TADA!
