Earrings and choker pendant made out of napkins.







Sunny Spring days have inspired me to work on a "green project" using flowers... Paper and plastic are among my most favorite materials to use in my crafts...and I am always looking to recycle and reuse them.
We eat tons and tons of berries every single day at home so we end up with many plastic containers like this one above. And who doesn't have pretty napkins? This is a set of earrings and choker I made out of them both. Isn't it cute? My Rose Earrings and Choker tutorial as follows...

It's not only cute but it cost me almost nothing to put it together! Let me show you how I did it.

MATERIALS:

Paper napkins {floral}
Plastic berries containers
Liquid Fusion® Clear Urethane Glue
Craft brush
Paper & Craft Scissors 
Reamer
Jewelry tools set
Metal choker
Earring loops
Rings

INSTRUCTIONS:

1- Select your favorite floral napkins.
2-  Using your paper scissors cut out the flowers you like to design your jewelry set.
3-  Cut out the non-printed bottoms from your plastic berries containers.
4- Using your craft brush spread a few drops of Liquid Fusion® Clear Urethane Glue on the non-printed plastic bottoms and glue your napkin cut out flowers facing down.
5- Let them dry completely.
6- Once dry cut them out using your craft scissors.
7- Select a set of earring loops of your choice.
8- Using your reamer punch a hole {mine is on the leaves} right through the plastic.
9- Using your jewelry pliers open a ring and add it to the earring loops.
10- Before you close it pass the napkin flower cut out through it and close it.
TIP: You can leave your new pair of earrings the way it is or glue another piece of plastic on the back and repeat steps 4, 5 & 6. I did with my pair.

To make the pendant for your choker repeat all steps. Enjoy your new jewelry set!
