I made these earrings for my roommate’s wedding. Sometimes simple is best. It took me a long time to figure out how to make a strong hook for the cane slice. I kept trying to slide a head pin all the way through the cane slice, but it would always get messed up! Finally, I decided to sandwich the headpin between to slices! Worked like a charm, no pun intended.
The earring are so cute. Thanks for such a cute pattern.
Cute! Sometimes simplicity speaks volumes, Meg.
I have seen people take a tiny loop at one of the ends embedded, in order to prevent the headpin, or eyepin from slipping out in time.
I like the headpin idea. I was taught to swirl and bend an eye pin and put that between the layers. There’s so much resistance, that thing is never coming out. 🙂
Oh my gosh — I love these!!!!! More canes to try. 🙂
