Fixer Upper Leather Earrings Tutorial

Created by: Rita Hutchinson

Designer Tips

• Determine desired size of earrings and mark the back of the leather to indicate cuts. (Pictured pair is 55x20mm.)
• Cut leather to size with rotary cutter, against a straight edge ruler. I recommend cutting into a long strip, and then cutting to desired length. Do not use rotary cutter on desk or table top without a protective layer.
• Punch hole at one end to attach earwire. (To ensure that the earrings hang straight, you may want to measure and find the center before punching.)
• Set eyelet through hole for durability.
• Attach earwire. For best way to open and close loops, see Jump Ring Hint in Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF).
• Add French Wire keepers to keep earrings securely on the ear (or on a jewelry display card, for sale).
