Long time, no post, but I just finished a project that I'm really excited about! Originally inspired by this tutorial here, when I bought a new bag of leather remnants there was a perfect scrap of army green vegan leather and I knew what I needed to do. This project is as easy as cut, glue, wear... |
Step 1: Sketch your shape(I just Googled 'monstera leaf' for reference) on the rough side of the leather and cut using sharp scissors or an Xacto knife(a crafter's BFF!). When you're sketching, make sure to be thinking about covering up the head of the earring post. Get too excited about the funky gaps in the leaf and you might end up with too little of a solid area at the top to cover it and it will show. NBD, just something to consider.
Step 2: Using a strong craft glue, such as E-6000, attach blank earring posts to the back. Make sure to let the glue dry completely!
Step 3: Wear with pride! The leaves are a bit big, so I usually wear them in my second piercing so that the edges don't push up against my face. I really like how they sort of take over my whole earlobe. Definitely a statement.
