DIY Christmas Gift Idea: Star Dangle Earrings with Free Printable

I’ve loved star shapes for as long as I can remember. If you go check my blog out, you’ll see a couple of different star projects (mostly jewelry and hair pieces). I also hoard (and yes, I mean HOARD) star shapes – plastic glow in the dark stars, wooden stars, glass stars, metal stars – you name it, I most likely will have it, and if not, I’ll be compelled to get it. Same thing happened when I saw these stars – they’re so pretty and with dimensional details to boot. I wondered what I was going to make with them, but it seemed apt to make these really easy-to-assemble DIY Christmas gift earrings – looks festive enough to wear throughout the holiday season, no?

Star Dangle Earrings DIY Christmas Gift Supplies:

  • Darice Tin Stars
  • 1/8″ Metal Puncher
  • Darice Gold Spray Paint
  • Darice Semi-Precious Stone Beads
  • Head Pins
  • Round Nose Pliers
  • Wire Cutter
  • Earring Hooks
  • Jump Rings
  • DIY Christmas Gift Free Printable Earring Cards < click to print

Step 1. Get your stars and pick out what size you want to use. For the pair I have made, I used two of the second-to-the-smallest ones.

They come in grey, red and navy blue and they’re about 3″ x 4.5″ in size. You can also use these tags as mini Christmas cards! Download them here.
