Leather Hoop Earrings with Memory Wire

We love being innovative when designing and these leather hoop earrings are no exception to our imagination.

What you’ll need:

• Heavy Duty Memory Wire – WR00120
• 5mm Braid Red Round Leather – CH01138 (14″)
• TierraCast® End Caps – TC02742 (4)
• Post Earrings – A014131 (Sterling Silver Option Y001500)
• Clear Earring Backs – TC01208
• Super New Glue – A015821

Directions:

1. Cut 2 rings of heavy duty memory wire.
2. Cut your 14 inches of leather in half to have 2 – 7 inch pieces of leather.
3. Slide the memory wire thru the hole in the center of the leather, trim excess memory wire.
4. Put the Post earring into one of the end caps so the part of the earring that goes in your ear sticks out of the end cap’s small hole.
5. Add 2-3 drops of super new glue into the end cap with the earring post and insert one end of your leather. Hold for 20-30 seconds so that the leather and earring post stay straight.
6. Add glue to the end cap without the earring post and insert the other end of the leather. Hold for 20-30 seconds while the glue sets.
7. Let set for 24 hours, so glue fully dries.
8. Use earring backs when wearing.
