Snipped and Saved Posts

Yes, that is what they call it.  “They,” meaning Anthropologie.  I love perusing Anthro’s jewelry.  I love funky jeweled items that become conversation pieces when I am wearing them.  I saw these Snipped and Saved Posts and knew I could create the look for a lot less.ANTHR Supplies:

canvas fabric

head pins

small crystals, pearls or other small beads

round nose jeweler’s pliers

flush cutter

chain pliers

scissors

glue on posts

hot glue gun

fray check

Flower pattern

1.  Using this pattern cut out two of each flower using the canvas material.  The flowers are tiny so this is the most annoying part…make sure your scissors are sharp and small.DSC05623 2.  After they are cut out apply fray check to the edges to avoid fraying.  I applied clear nail polish to mine because I am too cheap to purchase fray check didn’t have any fray check on hand.

3.  Using a head pin thread four of the flowers starting from biggest to smallest through the head pin.DSC05626 DSC05628 DSC05629 4.  With the rest of the wire from the head pin make a large loop using your round nose pliers wrapping the excess wire around the end of the loop and cutting it with the flush cutter. DSC05630 5.  Next grab some small beads and some headpins and make a basic loop at the top.  For a video tutorial on that check out the free class at Beaducation.DSC05636 6.  Now open up each loop and thread them through the large loop on your flower and then close the loop with the pliers.  Start with the largest bead and then add your smaller beads on.

DSC05632 Add all the beads (I used 8) to the middle loop.

    Awww. So pretty. Where were you when I bought the Anthropology version?! I am going to have to start channeling you before I purchase anything jewelry or home decor :)

  4. Genius! I think I have to ebay that jewellery making set… right now.

    You did a great job! They look good!

  8. Very cute, and I just happen to have some dark brown canvas waiting to be used.

  9. Patricia says:

    Those are very cute! You could try bonding the fabric to some heat n bond (or similar product)before you cut it out to prevent fraying and make cutting easier.

  10. Love those! Good idea for scrap fabrics too.

    Your bead colors are more interesting than the originals. My Design Guide.com

    Your earrings turned out better than the originals! Great job!

  13. Cute! I'm gonna make some of those soon! I love trying to imitate that store — it is the dreamiest!

  14. This has nothing to do with your current post, rather a question about your cabinets. I am planning on painting my cabinets black and have read your instructions on how you did it. I like the matte look better than glossy, but worry about being able to clean them easily. How has it been for you to clean them off when they don't have a shiny finish? If you could e-mail me at [email protected] to let me know I would really appreciate it. I love your blog and all your ideas! :)

    Happy Day,

    Those are really pretty. I actually don't have pierced ears and finding clips was such a chore I learned to make my own so these are perfect.

  19. So cute! I could see using these for multiple projects- not just earrings!

    Oh what a great DIY project. You are one clever and crafty girl.
