Hi,
My name is Heidi Swaney and I am from Gnadenhutten, Ohio. I
work at "Trumpet in the Land" which is an outdoor drama about the 1st
Moravian settlement in the state of Ohio. In keeping with the Moravian
theme I
was folding the stars to sell in our gift shop when one of the girls I
work
with suggested that they would make cute earrings if they could be made
small
enough. I make jewelry so I took this as a challenge. I started with
strips of
1/8 in. quilling paper cut to 6 in. It took a little time to do because
it was
on such a small scale but I was able to succeed. As you can tell from
the
picture the stars ended up about the size of a penny. I inserted a head
pin
between the layers of the star and bent a loop into the end of it. I
then
attached it to earring wires using a jump ring. The girls just loved
them and I
have made several pairs in a variety of colors. Please feel free to use
my
pictures and full name if you like. Sorry the quality of the pictures
is not
the best but these were hard to photograph in detail because they are
so small. |
