ribbon earrings - Try It - Like It

with Gwen Studios

Today I am making two different kinds of ribbon rose earrings for the Gwen Studios design team. I am using sheer ribbon from Gwen Studios in red and pink. These would make great gifts and just in time for Valentine’s Day. The pink earrings have a stud back and the red rosebud earrings are dangles.

I am working with 7/8″ sheer Gwen Studios ribbon that can easily be found at Walmart. (links at the bottom of the post)

If you would like to see all the other creations made for Romancing the Ribbon by the Gwen Studios design team members, you can find them at Designer Crafts Connection.

Pink Ribbon Rose Earrings

The ribbon rose earrings in pink are made by free forming the ribbon into a rose, this is better described in the video tutorial below. The addition of green satin ribbon is used for leaves. Everything is held together with Farbri-tac glue and a binder clip while drying. I used a needle to move the ribbon around – there is no sewing needed.

After the roses have dried completely and the excess ribbon is cut away, I used gel Super Glue to adhere the stud earring backs to the roses.

Red Ribbon Rosebud Earrings

The red rosebud earrings use a different technique to create the buds. The ribbon is folded and held together with double-sided tape. This process is explained in the video tutorial below.

To make the bud earrings, I needed a pair of scissors, lighter, flat nose pliers with wire cutter, green craft wire, and double-sided tape. I also used folded paper to wrap the ribbon around which is explained in the video below.

With Ribbon from Gwen Studios

Today I am back working with Gwen Studios ribbon as an application to be on their design team. We were asked to make jewelry or home decor and since I had already made a decor piece with ribbon, I chose to make earrings. These ribbon earrings use coordinating ribbons layered together. The fun thing about them is that you can make them at whatever length you want.

I would first like to thank Designer Crafts Connection for the opportunity to work with amazing companies and designers. Specifically for this post, I would like to thank Gwen Studios for providing me with an amazing box of materials to work with.

Directions:

To make the earrings, you want to measure and cut your ribbons into different lengths. Starting with the widest ribbon as the longest. Keep in mind most of the ribbons will be folded in half.

I am a total fan of pink so they were the first pair of earrings I made. Gwen Studios has so many beautiful ribbons I couldn’t stop making only one pair.
