DIY Gift Idea: Embroidery Floss Washer Earrings
Making jewelry has always intimidated me, thankfully these earrings can be put together in a pinch and make for a perfect gift, Just think of the possibilities, you could use school colors, give it a holiday theme, go ombre, or keep it simple and go all black!

These earrings have become my newest crafting obsession! I want to make a pair for me, my daughter, my sister, etc.. I tried out a couple different methods and because a picture sometimes explains it better than my words can the following tutorial is, um, very visual.

This was the first technique is below, it creates a looser earrings meaning the washers twist easily.

Technique two, below, created a much tighter earring, the washers barely moved. However, it was hard to cover the connections. While I preferred technique one my daughter liked the second better, go figure.
![Option2 Option2](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv9DhJ9ZzmACnBZP4AU2wk444ylTQkqlTEpQD4FQmvweIS9dDFjAHuzmTvABq_aJamj9KtyRJ4_ra-ViPAHNAfeVOpzGDfFgiD_IZyAPtU71celI5rgIJkh_8U9wgStqeq9heI9yzA2Bo2/?imgmax=800)
Whichever technique you chose when it comes time to connect the actual earring all I did was tie it on. Just be sure that if your earring has a ‘back’ side you tie the earring on so that it will hang correctly.

I can’t wait to make more of these as Christmas gifts! I’m thinking we might also have to make a necklace or two!
