Here you’re already with Christmas craft for gifts of making chandelier earrings from cardboard. Okay, let’s start create this Christmas gifts:
- Draw a dozen pairs of stars in varying sizes on cardboard. 24 stars altogether to be divided into 2 equal sets. The smallest star should be at least 2 cm wide.
- Cut out these stars and paint them shiny silver or gold or any pretty color depending on the look you want. Divide these stars into 2 equal sets. Work on 1 set at a time.
- Take the first set; divide it into 3 subsets of 4 stars. Each subset should one of the 3 largest stars in this set.
- Take one subset of 4 stars. Thread a needle and pierce it through the spike of the largest star. Tie a knot to secure this star. This will be the bottom of that earring strand.
- Pass the needle through a 3 tiny beads.
- Run the needle through the center of the second largest star in the subset and secure it by running the needle through a point in the star. Tie a knot to secure this star and pass the thread through 3 more tiny beads.
- Repeat steps 6 for the other stars in the subset.
- Pass the needle through the eye of the earring finding and back through the top bead of this strand, securing the strand to the earring finding.
- Repeat steps 4 to 9 for the other 2 strands. Once done, you have a single chandelier earring.
- Repeat steps 3 to 9 with the other set for the matching earring.
