DIY Derek Lam inspired Tassel Earrings
With red carpet events on the brain with my People’s Choice and Golden Globes inspired gowns,
an easy DIY is definitely on the brain this week and I’ve got a good one for you!
And may I add, inspired from the runway.
Derek Lam’s Resort collection is perfection, absolute perfection with it’s fur, gingham, fresh whites and bold colors.
When I spotted the earrings on this gingham look, HERE, I knew we needed to make this for ourselves!
And it’s so dang freaking simple, right?
Tassel, cone, and earring find and you’ve got yourself a high fashion designer earring!
DIY Derek Lam inspired Tassel Earrings
Materials (as seen in photo below):
- 2 tassels found at Jo-Ann Fabrics, these Turks Head Tassles (here) are amazing, too!
- 2 Bead Cones, full collection HERE at Fire Mountain Gems
- 2 sets of earring findings, (hooks for earrings)
- jewelry pliers
Instructions:
- Thread tassel end through the cone, and attach earring to loop.
- In some cases the loop may be too long for the cone like in the photo above.
- To remedy this,
I tied a loose little knot in my tassel loop before threading it through the cone;
- Then using a needle and thread,
I was able to pull the short loop through the cone head just enough to attach my earring finding.
- Pretty EASY, yes? Just as easy as my Tom Ford inspired Fringed Earrings – if not easier!
So easy, it will take less than 5 minutes to whip up and jump start the rest of your look, and not to mention, day.
Info on today’s look:
- hair – Beach waves with the Beachwaver
- Brows – Billion Dollar Brows, currently running a contest HERE
Thanks for dropping by and hopefully you’ll stay with me next week when I debut my Golden Globes inspired look!
Until then, have a glamorous day!
