These earrings feature a pretty stamped lotus blossom accented in purple. With a green iris bead to bring out the color of the stamping, these earrings are different and quite lovely.

Instructions

By following the instructions below, you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.

Before you begin, watch the instructional video: How to Use Metal Punches.
Following the technique you learned in the video, punch the antique silver plated mini flat tags with the lotus metal punch.
Apply some opalite Vintaj patina to the stamping and use a paper towel to wipe away the excess. Allow to dry.
Place a green iris fire polish bead onto an eye pin. Create a simple wire loop after the bead and bend the two loops so that they face perpendicular directions.
Open one of the loops and hang the flat tag; close the loop.
Open the other loop and attach it to the antique silver plated leverback earring hook; close the loop.
