One of our favorite Make & Take project we offered during the 2018 Bead & Button Show was the Lasso Drop Earrings. Check out how easy it is to make these pair of leather and gemstone earrings!
It features soft deerskin leather lace and matte black gold Amazonite gemstones. Inspired by the trend of leather and adventurous western style, here’s an easy earring tutorial!
Step One: Start with 9” of leather. Make a Lark’s Head Knot by folding leather in half, slide loop through TierraCast drop halfway and feed both leather ends through leather loop.
Step Two: Turn around and tighten loop. Make sure to keep leather ends flat and side by side.
Step Three: Cut the tips of the leather ends at an angle to create a pointed tip. Slide a bead through leather end and make a knot 1.5” – 1.75” inches away from the base of the TierraCast drop.
Step Four: Repeat Step 3 with other leather end, while making a knot slightly shorter. Cut leather ends at an angle, 1/4” away from knot.
Step Five: Slide a gemstone coin bead and seed bead onto a headpin and make a simple loop. Make sure your loop is slightly bigger to slide onto TierraCast drop.
Step Six: Open loop of dangle and slide onto the underside of TierraCast drop hole. Close loop. Open loop of earwire and slide on hole of TierraCast drop. Close loop.
