So much of my DIY inspiration comes from seeing something and instantly saying “I could totally make that!” That’s what happened when I saw these neon tassel earrings on Pinterest. Instead of a bright neon, I went with a more subtle seafoam green. Though I wish I had chosen a thinner style of thread, I still love the way this project turned out!

You will need:

– Rhinestones
– Embroidery Thread
– Wire
– Clear Vinyl
– Super Glue
– Marker
– Scissors
– Pliers & Wire Cutters

1. Arrange the rhinestones into a simple pattern overtop of the clear vinyl. Trace the pattern with the marker.

2. Cut out the traced pattern on the vinyl. Next, glue the two largest rhinestones to each other.

3. Glue the attached rhinestones to the piece of vinyl. Add the additional rhinestones to complete the pattern.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 until you have two identical rhinestone pieces.

5. Cut a piece of embroidery thread to a length longer than you want for the earrings. Continue adding embroidery thread in the same length.

6. Cut a small piece of wire and hook it through the bottom rhinestone piece. Bring the ends of the wire together to make a small loop. Insert the thread pieces through the wire.

7. Secure the thread in place by twisting the end of the wire. Trim the excess wire with a pair of cutters. To make the tassel shape, wrap a piece of thread around the top of the gathered thread pieces. (Similar to this tutorial)

8. Glue earring backs to the top rhinestone piece on your earrings. Let them dry fully before wearing. And voila! Beautiful rhinestone tassel earrings!!
