1. Ankara button earrings
Handmade accessories always have a lot of different variations to them, as every person adds something new to the old recipe. This is only one of the ways of how to make Ankara button earrings:
- Get a couple of old buttons, the bigger the better. If you don’t have any, you can take beads or any round objects really.
- Cut a piece of Ankara fabric large enough to wrap around your button. Don’t be afraid to cut a piece, bigger than needed, you will always be able to cut the excess fabric.
- Apply a fabric glue onto the fabric. Most other glues will work too, but special glue is made for special purposes, that’s why it would be better to use it.
- Wrap the button with the fabric and wait for a glue to dry off. In the end would be the perfect time to cut the excess fabric. You can sew the end of the fabric to extend the lifetime of your homemade jewelry.
- Glue the base to your earrings – special pins, that you will put in your ears. Consider it done – now you know how to make earrings.
