Shimmer Sheetz Earrings & Spellbinders Die Templates

**This is a scheduled post**

Hello! I am at CHA but I have a couple of posts that I am scheduling for this week while I am gone. For today's post I have a pair of earrings to share with you that I creating. They were very quick and easy to make. The main material that the earrings are made out of is Shimmer Sheetz, iridescent and metallic Mylar. For the earrings I used the Gold Metallic and Light Pink Iris Shimmer Sheetz. I used three of the Spellbinders die templates-- S4-295 Lacey Squares Die #1 with the Light Pink Iris, S4-294 Breaded Ovals Die #1 with Gold Metallic and S4-112 Classic Ovals Small Die #1 with Light Pink Iris. After I made the diecuts I layered them using 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue from Beacon. Once the glue was dry then I punched holes into the two ends and added the jewelry findings and pearls at the bottom. For a finishing touch I added a pearly button (with the shank removed) to the center. Like I said very quick and easy. These earrings and fast to make and fun to where!

  2. These are so beautiful! I'm wondering how thick the shimmer sheets are. Did you back these earrings, or is this stuff thick enough to stand on it's own? I love anything irridesant, so this product will be so fun to try! I'd love to see more creations.
