So I finally managed to have some DIY projects ready to post in time for Christmas. I hope you will enjoy them and maybe you could even take some hints for your little handmade presents ;-)
This first project is a really easy and quick one for making lace earrings.
You will need:
You can use every sort of lace/lace like/embroidered trimmings but be sure to choose one with a well defined pattern and easy to cut. Also, a thick trimming will work best so maybe you would iron it using a spray starch to add extra crispness.
Cut the lace shape following the outlines
A bit of transparent nail polish (or glue) will fix everything
Insert the jump ring and the eye pin, then add the beads
After shortening the eye pin, make a small loop at the top, add the earwires and...
...done!

Thanks for sharing this. It is very interesting.
I love this idea! Maybe it is just me, but I went to Goodwill and it was very hard for me to find any lace trimming. Do you know where I can find thick lace trimming for this project?
@ Jennifer: you can look for lace trimmings at fabric stores, but also on Etsy (etsy.com) you can find very nice ones :-)
These are gorgeous. I have made some cool earrings on my Etsy.
