So it was nearly a month ago that I 'pinned' Jen from Craft-O-Maniac's chevron earrings for me to recreate... sadly revision and uni work got in the way too often so it's taken ages to get my pair finished.. a bit of taping out here and there, odd coat of paint, touch up, gloss and reassemble... but now my exams are over (ok so there's still a little bit of project work and an assignment to do) I have some of my free time back again, hurrah!!!!
Here's my finished pair of chevron earrings....
Here's my finished pair of chevron earrings....
Seeing as I don't have a silhouette I had to use masking tape to create my chevrons so mine are pointed unlike Jen's wavy shaped chevrons... I'd love to say the centre black strip is deliberately wider but I didn't notice till after I'd finished painting, but hey at least both earrings have chunky black middles.. think I'll just pretend that's how I planned them to look lol!
DARLING I LOVE YOURS MORE THEN MINE. Super cute. WELL DONE, AND THANKS FOR SHARING. winks-jen have a fab. weekend.

ReplyDeleteLove the earrings, I think you can never have too many.
Super cute! That tutorial caught my eye too...
ReplyDeleteVery cute! You don't have to tell anyone that the thicker one wasn't on purpose. You could just say it was a design choice. They look great. :-)
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that I love the wider black strip in the middle what a great idea, lol. Guess your craftyness is coming out even when you don't realize it! =) thanks for linking up to Make it for Less Mondays @ Simply Cadence!
ReplyDeleteLove them! I especially like how the stripes are not all perfect, makes them more visually interesting (my opinion). Great job :) have to admit I wish I had some too ~~ diane at home sweet homemade

Found you at the Along for the Ride link party - the earrings are excellent! I've been keeping a Chevron board at Pinterest of some of the better projects I'm seeing in cyberland, and made sure to add these. Thanks for the inspiration.
