so my work involves engraving, making signs of all kinds, stamps, etc. One of my machines is a large laser engraver..she's my baby..and having some down time I found another reason to love her..after drawing this little stencil, it took all of 30 seconds to cut out..my x-acto is jealous but my hands are soo happy :)

how-to make lace earrings

[mumms.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone,
I like to represent cute lace earrings. It's easy to do yourself :)



I used lace, freshwater pearls, textile glue, earwires and some findings (chain, pins, jump rings, filigree bases).
First step: cut out lace motifs you like. Then spread the back side and edges with fabric glue. Keep pieces flat until glue is dry. Gluing makes lace motifs more durable and less fragile.
Second step: attach earwires using round nose pliers. You can embellish earrings with beads, chains, charms as you like.
