DIY: Studded Wood Earrings

During the last few years, I’ve been falling (hard) for DIY projects featuring wood elements. And after I took a few classes at SF’s Woodthumb in SOMA, the love grew x1000. Triangle bookshelf? Check. Wooden six pack? Check, check. So, it’s no surprise that my latest tutorial for Wild Amor features wood veneer, a wood-obsessed-crafty-lady’s best friend. Here’s how to make some embellished wood earrings!

DIY: Studded Wood Earrings

Supplies:

  • Wood stain
  • Wood veneer
  • Rubber gloves
  • Scrap paper/fabric/old newspaper
  • Scissors
  • Rhinestone chain, flat back gems & studs, etc.
  • Blank earrings posts (2)
  • Jewelry glue/strong craft glue 

You can find wood veneer in the wood section of most craft stores. It’s my newest obsession.

1. Using the scissors, cut a piece of wood veneer in a geometric shape of your choice.

3. Stain the wood pieces and let dry according to the package’s directions. Once dry, glue the embellishments according to your liking.

4. Glue an earring post to the back of each piece.

Repeat with the second earring and you’re good to go. EASY!
