Raffia hoop earrings

With its sunny hue reminiscent of beautiful days, this new tutorial is an invitation to take your time and enjoy the summer!

Here we have reinterpreted the fan shape, which has fascinated us for many years, featured each season in different tutorials.

 This season, raffia brings a subtle touch of nature, sun-dried grass, fields of wheat... a simple material that enhances the golden shine of the beads and pendants.

A very simple tutorial to carry out that will require taking your time and appreciating this gradual and very satisfying assembly.

Follow our step-by-step guide and let yourself be guided by our video.

Beautiful creation! 

 

For this project you will need:

 beads 11/0
 a raffia trim
 closed ring connectors 20mm
 round pendants
 earring supports for hoops
 nylon thread for bead weaving
 a needle
 pliers for jewelry making

Some explanations:



This jewelry is very simple to make, for this start by cutting a piece of raffia trim of 12cm.

Attention: once cut, the trim is fragile as it can fray. You will need to handle it carefully before sewing it. Once sewn, it will not move anymore!

Now, sew the 2 edges of the trim together. This will prevent it from fraying and also double the trim. You will thus achieve a more beautiful material effect with thickness. Fold the trim and place the seam at the center and back so that it is hidden.

Sew the trim onto the closed ring. To do this, make a knot at the end of the nylon thread. Pierce into the trim at the end of the trim, being careful to take both layers. Then pass the needle through the closed ring. Pierce into the trim just next to the first seam and then pass back through the ring. You will see that naturally the trim will position itself at the edge of the ring. The fan will form as you make the seams. 

Tip: Tighten your seams well so that the fringe is well placed and does not move. With our measurement of 12cm (6cm once folded in half), you will achieve a good size ratio and a well-proportioned fan. 

Then, once the trim is fully sewn, thread 3 beads and then pierce the needle into the seam at the edge of the trim, moving up towards the ring. The beads will thus be placed on the seam of the trim to hide it.

Continue like this to cover the entire edge, but be careful to ensure the beads are placed correctly; do not pull your thread too tight.

Don't try to get the beads perfectly aligned; a slightly messy placement will add a more organic side to your creation. It will be more lively and reminiscent of ethnic jewelry.

Once all the beads are positioned and the stitching is hidden, make a knot and then cut the thread.

Finally, open the ring located at the bottom of the earrings and thread the pendant and the fringe ring. Close the ring.

Repeat the operation to make the other earring.

Beautiful creation!
