Lovely Grace---I can't believe you made these from scratch. How did you do this? I have no talent with things like this.

HG56, bits-n-pieces, and the motto, "show No Fear"... lol!
My daughter (who I luv dearly)bought a pair of simple leather earrings at a Boutique for $14.00,,, needless to say,, I am a bit more frugal and will not pay that kind of money, especially when I have all the supplies to make my own.

I just cut the shapes,, out of the thin leather,, punched holes at the top, attached together with jump rings and earring hooks. Then glued on the rhinestones.

fyi,, when I spot a garment or deco pillow or boho bag made of leather for a really cheap-o price I buy them,, so I can use the leather for future projects.

Grace, those turned out so stinking cute! Being frugal works for you. Plus then you get to make them exactly how you want! Did you glue your leather pieces together?

hey Krista,, no, I punched a small hole thru each piece so I could put a jump ring thru, so the 2 pieces could move independently.

Grace, have you ever thought of creating your own collection and making a small business of it?

Thank you Krista... but no... I have the attention span of a gnat, and after the 2nd or 3rd pair I probably flutter of to another project.... lol!
I did craft shows back when I was younger and discovered I did not like "assembly " work..... so now I. Just like to tinker with something and then move on.... yep, I am a gnat!!! Snorks-n-giggles
