DIY Gold Dipped Teardrop Earrings because everything looks better dipped in gold.
Happy Monday!
I’ve been wanting to make a pair of wire wrapped earrings for awhile now and I finally did it! It was so much easier than I thought it would be. And to add a little glam, I dipped the teardrop beads in gold leafing.
I was so nervous about this entire project but I’m so glad I went with it because the gold dipped earrings turned out even better than I thought they would.
Materials needed to make Gold Dipped Teardrop Earrings:
- 22 gauge wire
- teardrop beads
- gold leafing paint
- gold earring hooks
- round nose pliers
Step 1: Cut your wire and wrap around the top of the teardrop bead. I used this great tutorial by Contrariwise Ramblings.
Step 2:Â Add your earring hooks so you can hang them after you dip the ends in the gold leafing.
Step 3: Dip the ends of the beads into the gold leafing paint. Let dry and then dip again. I had to dip the pink beads a third time to get a good coating but the clear beads only needed to be dipped twice.
Step 4:Â Let paint dry and you are ready to wear your gorgeous new gold dipped earrings.
I LOVE the way these earrings turned out! I can’t wait to stock up on more beads that I can dip in the gold leafing paint.
