DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Cherry Earrings

These cherry pom-pom earrings are fun to make and wear. This craft is easy for grade school children to participate in or to try on their own with adult supervision.

Materials:

• scissors
• green thread or string,
• sewing needle (the thicker, the easier to thread but harder to push through the pompom),
• 4 red pom-poms (any size),
• 2 fish hook, lever back, or clip on earrings (make sure the ones you pick up have loops to tie the string or thread onto)

Instructions for ONE earring (with images): 

1. Make sure you have:



two red pom-poms (any size)



a sewing needle and thin green thread or string



two earring fish hooks

2. Thread one end of your string through the sewing needle, making a U-shape, and match then tie the one end of the thread to the other.





3. Take your new thread and needle combo and shove it through one red pom-pom to the end of the knot.

4. Thread the same string through your earring hook.

5. Tie to the earring hook's loop at a desired length. Keep in mind: this is where your first cherry will hang from!

6. Thread your second cherry through to a desired length.

7. Tie a double-knot to hold the second cherry in place.

8. Repeat once more for a pair of earrings, and experiment with length, size of string and pom-poms, and colour scheme for more earring ideas!
