DIY: earrings from lace

I thought I’d share a little project of my own today! I made these earrings a while ago, with a gift of lace from a neighbor. This is so simple (no, I didn’t make the lace), I just cut out pieces of it and sewed it to earring hooks that I bought at a bead store. I’ve been scouring the internet to try to find a place to buy more lace like this, but I haven’t had much luck. This is the closest thing I’ve found: Kalena’s etsy shop. I’ll be keeping my eyes open since I’d love to make more earrings like this, and I’d love links to other online lace shops if you know of any!

It’s always fun to get the new anthropologie catalog in the mail. I love the way the photos are styled, and in this latest issue, I really love the hand drawn floral pattern behind the photos. Clockwise, palisades tank dress ($188), brighter season dress ($158), lemondrops necklace ( $38), champagne earrings ($88), and buttercup earrings ($38).
