for the love of tassels


Soooo I had a bunch of my YL girls over for a craft night Saturday night and it was ridiculously fun. I don't know why I hadn't done something like that yet. We did some of your typical white girl Pinterest projects with canvases and made headbands and thennnn we made these awesome leather tassle earrings and they were so easy! I love the pop of the gold against the black leather and well...leather and gold are kind of in right now. Here's now to make them:

What you'll need:


2 gold earring hooks
very thin gold wire
black leather
scissors
plyers



Directions:

Cut your leather into a 3/4" X 1.5" piece. Cut several slits in the leather that run about 3/4 of the way up, but keep the top of the strip together like this: 


Roll it up like a burrito and begin to tightly wrap the gold wire over the top of the leather. Feed the last part of the wire through the earring hook and wrap until secure. Use your plyers to squeeze the wire closer.

 
And that's it! 








But seriously...how cute are they?? The Lord blesses and teaches me so much through getting to be even a small part of their world.
