Material Requires For Thread Earrings
- Silk thread in two colours
- Scissors
- Hook earwires
- Serrated jaw pliers
Steps To Make DIY Thread Earrings
Step 1: Start by wrapping the first thread colour around your hand or fingers until it's as thick as you want. Then, slide it off your hand, keeping the loops together. Pinch the threads and cut one end. Repeat this process to create two bundles of the first colour. Then, do the same with a second thread colour. You should now have four folded bundles of thread, two in each colour.
Step 2: Put the first navy thread bundle on your surface vertically with the folded end at the bottom. Take the first white bundle and pass the folded end under the right side of the navy bundle, then over the left side. Next, take the second navy bundle and pass it through the loop of the white bundle. Take the second white bundle and pass it over the two navy bundles. Pass all the ends through the loop of the second navy bundle. You should now have the desired arrangement.
Step 3: Hold the four thread bundles in both hands and gently pull them to create a square pattern. Now, you'll be working your way around the threads in a clockwise direction. Start by folding the first navy bundle over the next white one. Then, take that white bundle and fold it over the navy bundle you just moved and the next navy one. Continue folding the bundles over each other, moving clockwise. Pull all four sides tight to create a small square pattern.

Step 4: Take the four thread groups and smooth them out so they're hanging down evenly. Cut a piece of thread, make a loop, and then pass the two main thread ends through the loop. This will create a slipknot. Slide the woven part of your earring through the loop and pull the knot tight. Wrap the thread around a few times to secure it, then tie a knot. Tuck the thread ends down to blend in with the rest of the tassel.
