If you're looking for something unique and artsy to wear in your ears and feel like getting a little bit crafty, this is the perfect thing for you to do!

If you already know how to crochet... GREAT! but if not, heres a little guideline link for help..

(This is really nice as it shows you how to go one step further and make pretty flowers, I just stuck to the basics for the moment.)
Don't worry if it takes you a while to get the hang of it, It can be very difficult at the beginning as it's quiet a fiddly task and you have to have patience...but the end result is very rewarding, so its WORTH IT! :-)
You will probably end up with a few, as you will need to try and get two that match..
NOTE: Cut and leave enough string behind, which will still be attached to your little crochet piece ( you will use this to tie the crochet piece onto your earrings)
Here is a close-up of some, they have really pretty detail on them, which makes for a perfect unique earring.
Once you have made two well-matching crochet pieces, you are ready to tie them onto your hoop earrings.
You will need to take the two little string pieces that are left behind on your crochet piece and tie a knot with it around your hoop earring. Then do the same with the other.
Once you have done that... VOILA!!
Now you will have your own 'pretty crochet earrings' which you have made yourself!
These look cute with any outfit and you are guaranteed to get some compliments on your original style!
If you want, you can even add on your own little details such a sewing on some beads to the earrings, etc.
Hope you enjoy and have fun making these..
