As some of you might know the CHA – Favecrafts sponsored Best blogger craft contest for a $1000 prize is here. I am entering with my handmade textured copper earrings embellished with swarovski flatbacks and gorgeous lampwork beads by Debbie sanders that I won from Gloria Allen for winning the BNB 16 challenge.
Starry Night Earrings
There is nobody better than Simone Collins to write project/ product descriptions and I love the little blurb she has written for my submission – Starry Night Earrings
“Day or night, you can shine bright with DIY jewelry ideas like this one. These Starry Night Homemade Earrings are pretty, practical and surprisingly easy to make. Use glass and metal beads to complete this project. The contrast between the two types of beads make this project a real standout. Homemade earrings make great gifts on a birthday or during the holiday season. Don’t be afraid to add your own fun embellishments, too. The copper sheet metal used for this project gives a cool and unexpected look to the finished project. Wear your earrings with any outfit – they’ll always look good.”
