Ever since I started teaching online, I have started to make lots of earrings in line with the Above the keyboard dressing practice. Hence the abundance of earring tutorials on the blog. Most of my earring tutorials focus on lightweight earrings. I personally change my earrings on an everyday basis and wear statement making ones. If they are heavy, they tend to take a toll on my ear. That is why I prefer extremely lightweight earrings over heavy, layered ones. In this DIY Golden tassel earrings tutorial too, I use hollow metal beads and lace. This makes it super light weight even at 6cm length.

Method
- Cut your lace into 2 pieces. Apply Fabric glue or fray check to the edges if needed. My lace did not fray so I skipped this optional step.
