Shooting Star Earrings

As Hurricane Irma is approaching, we are prepped and hopefully ready for her strong winds and torrential rains. While we are holed up in the comfort of our home, I decided to do some quilling. As you might have read here, I received Ann Martin’s new book called “The Art of Quilling Paper Jewelry” and made the Loops and Leaves Necklace on the front cover. I loved the classy look of the metallic gold on black.

Tonight I wanted to try the Shooting Star Earrings. I bought some metallic silver on red in hopes of making something a little out of the ordinary in terms of color.

I took some pictures in process so you could see how it came together. Below, you can see I didn’t have dowel rods to wrap my strips around. Instead I used the glue top, ink pen barrel and my quilling tool barrel which were the perfect sizes.

Then I carefully pieced the Earrings together and pinned them in place to dry.

To finish off the earrings, I will add a jump ring and earring wire.

Ann’s directions are clear, concise, and very well laid out for a person of any level to achieve success. If you would like to get more informed or order her book, you can get it here.
