Introduction: Paper Quilling Earrings
Making a pair of earrings with everyday items is a challenge. For me, the paper is the everyday item I chose for this instructable. I hope you enjoy this project and try to make your own jewelry with that method.

Step 1: Gather Supplies
Supplies:
- Paper or quilling paper
- Papercraft glue
- Ear wire hooks
- Small screw eye pins
Tools:
- Small electric drill or Hand drill
- Quilling needle tools (Optional)
Step 2: Qulling
if you want the final result to be a perfect roll then it would be good to use a quilling needle tool. For me, the imperfect look you get using only your hands is what I prefer for this project. I start to fold the edge of the paper and along the paper, I spread a minimal amount of glue. When the white strip is wrapped I continue with a strip of a different color to get a pattern. The variations that you can make either in the combination of colors or in the size are endless!
Step 3: Insert Small Pins
Αs soon as the glue has dried, with the use of a small drill I open a hole to screw the small eye pins into the paper roll we have made earlier.
Step 4: Last Step
In this last step, all we have to do is assemble the ear wire hooks. I hope this project was a source of inspiration and a reminder that we can make something so beautiful with simple materials easily and quickly in our home!
Thank you!
