Last year, a local saddlery and tack shop closed and they had bags of all sorts of leather and vinyl scraps with and without tooling. I got a couple small bags of vinyl, but wish I'd gotten more. This project is perfect for them.
These are great! I can't wear heavy earrings either and have always admired people who could wear large pieces. I bet I could handle these. Thank you!
YAY! I love those aqua earrings and can't wait to try my hand at these!!
I appreciate the variety of crafts that you are showcasing as of late. Keeping it fresh for me😉
😊 thanks
How CUTE!
I have seen these around. They look really cool and simple to make! I always love you’re videos especially the tutorials!
What a great idea! Thanks for bringing us such clever crafting!
Love love love this type of craft videos ❤️❤️
Super idea...loving it!
These earings are super cute! I can't wait to try them out for my business. Thanks for all the tips :)
Thank you so much Lindsay you the best. Love the idea
I enjoyed watching this earring tutorial and do love the lightweight style as well. I've had my Sizzix jewelry dies in my cart since before the move to my new state, but kept putting it off. This project makes me itch to make jewelry again. lol. That's such a great tip on the upholstery books that get thrown out. I can't believe they'd waste something that cool. I'll have to check my local stores. Sparkle on!
Thank you for this video!!! I cannot wait to get one of those books with the leather samples!!! The color options will be vast.
Cute earrings
These are really pretty Lindsay. I love how you added the beads to make the calla lily ones :). I also love the aqua colors you chose.
Oh what fun and those earring turned out awesome...tfs
Cute earrings, thanks Lindsay.
So Cute!
Thanks, Lindsey! I like making jewelry, mostly earrings, from a variety of materials and am always looking for new inspiration. I noticed the earrings you had on (with the dangle) a few videos ago and was going to ask you how you made them. Thanks for reading my mind. Love the gelii prints, too. When I use card stock of light weight cardboard for my jewelry, I usually great if with some type of clear varnish -- helps to lengthen the life of jewelry and make it a little stronger. Also love that you mentioned having the back of earrings be nice looytoo. A particular let peeve of mine, on most crafts and jewelry -- the back is usually also seen and should be decorated also. Thanks again for all your videos! Can't wait to.get this scraps of leather out to try some of these.
I do that too, sometimes I cover them with resin if Im particularly happy with my designs. And the backs are important! Great minds and all that.. :)
So cool and beautiful, great idea
❤️❤️❤️❤️thank you so much!
Beautiful 🤩
Very cool! My husband joined the leather club here in AZ for the winter, he has a ton of scraps! TFS
This tutorial looks so fun! I have like none of those supplies. XD but I would love to buy earrings like that. I never knew that kind of style even existed, I will have to keep an eye out for something like that at craft fairs!
You are so Talented! ❤😘
Great video which was easy to follow and great ideas for light weight earrings, thank you for sharing.
Very nice video!! Thank you so much for sharing. Cannot wait to try this with my new Sissix Big Shot.
One thing I’ve never tried before is jewelry making, but it sure looks easy. TFS Lindsay. 💯❤️. Hugz
Awesome
Noooooooooooo ***covering eyes*** I have everything but the jump rings and hooks ... I can't add one more thing to my craft room, no matter how small those bits are! ROFLOL LOVE these so much, Lindsay!! I have a huge assortment of vinyl for my SIlhouette -- **peeking through fingers** -- how fun it would be to make these! lol I love all of your creative outlets and its lovely to see you ignite the spark in all of us for something different too.
Cannibalize earrings you already have but no longer wear. Take the ear hooks and jump rings off. Or if you already have wire, then you can easily make both jump rings and ear wires.
@@rtd1791 Thank you - that's a great idea!
Wowwww!!! This is super gorgeous, darling.... thanks for sharing 🥰🥰🥰
Hello Lindsay, I love this and I haven't even watched video yet. I've been studying pictures of these at the craft stores to learn how to make my own, and now you're going talk me through it. Thanks for everything you do. Take care and God bless.
Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Kylan Watson instablaster ;)
@Elliot Clark I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Elliot Clark it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
@Kylan Watson glad I could help xD
I love jewelry I love beads but im a paper crafter....another hobby is 1 too many but I like watching your videos. and that gel printing looks like fun. Maybe when I retire and my kids are grown I will revisit this video....thanks for your inspiration. Bev:)
Fabulous earrings~~!!!!
Excellent video and idea!
I really wish you would do more jewelry and accessories videos.....I LUV WATCHING YOU,,,,,LUV THE SHORTER HAIR!!!!
After watching your anniversary video, I've decided I'm gonna open all your alerts & run them thru even when I don't have time to watch, which I will then watch later. I had no idea of the YT bureaucracy.
So nice painting...🖼👏🙂👍😊👌🖌❤️❤️
Harika
10 thumbs up.
❤️😍
Queen of recycling
That's so ironic, Lindsay....I just purchased some faux leather sheets to make earrings, but I gotta say, getting that upholstery book is such an awesome tip! TFS
What are you using to cut the shapes with? Sizzix, cricket, or ?
very nice video
I've been meaning to try with cardstock and utee
Don’t use UTEE or Glossy Accents or any of the dimensional glues. That stuff is prone to yellowing and it’s brittle so it cracks. If you have to coat the paper in plastic, use an art grade resin like Ice Resin or the one from Nunn Design.
But really a simple varnish works or even nothing at all. If your paper has acrylic paint on it, then it already has a plastic coat on it and will probably last longer than your desire to wear the earrings. These are not the type of earring you are likely to swim or take a shower while wearing so waterproofing isn’t strictly necessary.
I’ve made paper jewelry for many years now and it is surprisingly durable. UTEE and dimensional glues though are not durable and will break or just become ratty looking.
👍👍👍👍👍
Wow I didn’t know you could use alcohol ink with gelli plates?! Oh man...I see one of those in my future. That would be awesome for my journal backgrounds.
Those are cool , but I don't think I'll be wearing earrings, any time soon.😂😂
john abbot you could make keychains the same way
Cute.
annette fournier - Fancy seeing you here too, adoring Lindsays craftiness :)
@@janemiettinen5176 Hello Jane! I've been following Lindsay almost 2 yrs. Small world.😂
annette - Ive been here for ages, but I was super unsure about my English for years, so I rarely commented. And now you cant shut me up! But yeah, small circles - I had just answered to you on Mikeys video and suddenly you were here too. I bet we have lots of same subscriptions between us, great minds and all that jazz :) Have a great day, dont let the chipmunks steal your time :)
@@janemiettinen5176 Your English is great Jean. I can read a bit of Spanish but that's it. I've lost the little Polish that I knew as a child. Lindsay is fantastic. I learn do much from her. Unfortunately the chipmunks village is directly in front of my art room window. I catch their activity in my peripheral vision and stop and look every time. ADD at it's finest.🥴
annette - Thanks! When I finally started commenting, I thought its all good as long Ill get understood, and surprisingly it was so much easier than I had dreaded. I speak some Swedish too, since its still mandatory in school. Or I listen better than speak it :) How come you learned Polish as a kid?
Lindsay was the reason I got back into watercolors, I took lessons when I was younger, plateaued skills-wise and just quit in frustration. Lindsay is so much better at explaining things than my teacher ever was and her attitude towards mistakes has been priceless lesson for me. Plus all the other things she does! I was so happy when I realized theres other people like me, who do little bit of everything.
And wouldnt you know it, I have that exactly same situation here - theres huge pine tree in front of my window, Im pretty sure thats home for at least couple of squirrels. They are constantly going up and down the trunk and when they get babies in the summer.. I cant help it, they are just too cute not to watch! Drives the cats nuts tho :) Oh cats, the mother of all distractions! They pull out their weirdest stunts whenever Im really trying to concentrate.. its like they _know_ :)
What a great idea! But lots of others must think so too....I hit your link for the dies but it says it’s “unavailable.” Oh well. No rush. There may have some other dies that might work. Or I can just wait. Thanks!👍
That Gelli plate must be brand spanking new! Well, not any more...lol! Gelli printing is so much fun! I love it. The link to the dies is a video on UA-cam, is that right?
It's not but it didn't get as much use as my others:)
Hi Lindsay, love your vids. You always have lots of great info. I have a question. What cutter are you using ?. Thanks so much.
It's the orginal big shot from 15 years ago lol!
Hi there what are you using for putting the earrings you cut? You made it por we can buy it from somewhere? Thanx
This would be so much fun. But I can't wear anything but pure gold.
Do you ever use scrapbook paper to make earrings? Love the ones you made.
I have, usually in the form 9f paper beads.
Thank you Lindsey I’m a jewelry making myself but when it come to the leather I was trying to find a way to cover the backside so that it wouldn’t get dirty I’m use real leather can you help me with that
Im not sure
This is very cool. That's a massive gel plate you have! What's it called and where's it from? I'm assuming it's 12x12 in size and I've never seen one this large before. You've also given me an exscuse to check out the fabric sample books at my local Scrapstore- uhoh!
Its 12x14 by gel press. I bought it at a stamp show (Marco's paper) but I believe hobby lobby has a better everyday price.
I’d check Dickblick. They usually have a better selection of sizes and good everyday prices. Using a coupon at a big box craft store might be best price wise, but these days Michael’s, Joanna, etc typically carry the smaller plates. Amazon has lots of different sizes too but their prices are all over the map.
hi...where did you get that book of vinyl?
its fantastic.
I've got some leather scraps, I might try the real 1st
Didn’t she say she got it from someone who was giving it away? It’s usually furniture stores. They have books of fabric samples that are only good for a set period of time and when new fabrics come out, they used to throw out the old sample books.
You used to be able to get sample books pretty easily and for free. But clever crafters figured out that the sample books were great for craft projects. So if you live in a city, chances are you won’t be able to get an old sample book for free anymore. But I’d still ask if you happen to be in a furniture store. Good news is that there are lots of sample books for sale on Etsy and EBay. Lots in the $10 range.
Ten to 15 years ago I asked the sales woman in Ethan Allen for an old sample book and they actually gave me two bags worth of out of date fabric samples. I actually still have a few pieces. It was high quality upholstery fabric with some pieces as large as 18 sq inches. I had to cut off the description tags, but it was still a great score. I’ve even seen a few chairs that were upholstered in fabric samples (patchwork style).
I just remembered that when I first brought my dog home from the shelter he chewed a great big hole in the arm of my sofa. I actually patched the hole with one of the fabric samples. He chewed a hole in my patch so I sewed a different sample on top of the first one. He was traumatized for about a year after his adoption. He’s still a Velcro dog but much happier since he’s learned we’re his forever family. I kind of miss my patched sofa. 🤣
Where did you get the cutter
how do you get these dies to cut the vinyl? ive tried these with a few types of faux leather and it does not work
Maybe you need to shim your dies?
@@thefrugalcrafter I'll give that a go
Funny u say u like flashy... I say I'm blush away from being Tammie Faye 😂 I don't like blush but oh the eyeshadow 😂
Where did you get your cutter machine? I can't find it when I google it.
A craft store
Can you use faux leather in the die cut machine?
It depends on your machine, I did in my big shot.
Thank you! I purchased a Gemini!
These are so cute! I have a question about my gelli plate. I bought the Gelli Arts Student plate, and when I went to remove it from the plastic, it was so stuck to the plastic that it ripped. I went as slow and possible but it was almost like it was melted onto the plastic. This happened on both sides. I was really excited to use it, and I want to buy another one, but is there a way I should be removing it so this doesn’t happen again?
Im not an expert, just long time print puller and I have no experience about that exact plate, but that doesnt sound at all normal! I would contact the seller, I think you have gotten monday-issue or it has been stored wrong or something else weird. It should remove quite easily, like removing something from a silicone mold. Like melted to the plastic? No, not normal at all!
I agree, I would contact gelling arts. They might have had a bad batch. I have the student one and it is thinner like the shaped plates are but it be wr fused. I wonder if they sent it with bad acetate.
Jane Miettinen Thanks for responding! I didn’t know if they could actually melt. I bought it at AC Moore and since they’re closing it was final sale, but when I buy another I’ll buy it from somewhere I can take it back if there’s an issue!
Nicole Jane I’d still contact the manufacturer. You never know. I’ve had manufacturers replace bad product I bought at a close out sale before. Once Golden Paints replaced bad texture paste nearly two years after I bought it. I bought a sample pack at a clearance sale and one of the jars was completely dried up. I forgot to call and two years later I was purging my art supplies, and figured I didn’t have anything to lose. Most manufacturers are concerned with their reputations so they try to make customers happy. I’m always happy to tell other makers how awesome Golden is. See how that works?
Nicole Jane - No problemo, glad to help. And rtd has a good point, you can still contact the manufacturer, no matter where you bought it or how cheaply. Ive had similar experience with Fiskars, they replaced my wonky punch years later (bought it and just didnt need it for a long time), the manufacturers want us happy and spreading the word. And many times they want to know about faulty products, Fiskars wanted to look at my punch and how it was broken (they even paid the postage on my behalf and sent small xmas punch with the new one, just to make me happy), so you really should shoot some e-mail to them. You got nothing to lose, so its all gravy if they are as awesome as Golden and Fiskars :)
BEAUTIFUL WORK !What is the name of the machine you used to cut the designs with.
Big shot
This was cool Lindsay! Will the alcohol stain the jellie plate!
It really shouldnt, since they are made so you should be able to pull *all* of the print. But it might, depend on what plate you have. Mine is GelPress, that wont stain, but Ive seen videos from GelliPlate owners, who have gotten stains. Or there might be some differences in the batches they are made, since Ive seen also non-stained GPlates. The stains are just cosmetic and wont affect any future prints, but if you are worried, do a small test with lightest yellow you have. Maybe on the corner or even on the side. If it stains, you can still use alcohol inks, just put on thin layer of acrylic medium first and let it dry before ink-play can commence. Happy print pulling :)
Jane Miettinen Thank for taking the time to answer my question. Have a great day!☀️
june Villegas - No problem, glad I could help :)
wow that is one large gelatin plate. I really love this idea. What a great use of things we might throw away. Love the look. I don't like heavy earrings either. Congrats on 10 yrs that's awesome. If you have the time would you mind looking at my channel and just tell me what you think in a comment. Thank you.
Hi what is that plate thingy and the lil roller thing that cut your shapes? I need that. Can I use my own acrylic paint
aqua fina Lindsay is using a Gelly Press Gel plate 8 by 10 inches and the roller thing is a rubber Brayer. Not sure what brand she’s using but speedball has some.
@@starshinesoldier thx. I was referring to the blue thing that cut the fabric.
@@aquafina6544 oh, ahaha sorry. I think she uses a Sizzix Big Shot die cutting machine. But her version is really old. The new versions don't look like that anymore.
@@starshinesoldier ahahahaah 🤣ok.
Well if it still works no need to upgrade. I gotta get me one. Just a lil small something.
You can also make a paper template of a teardrop shape and trace and cut it by hand so you dont have to buy a machine for one project.
What is the machine you’re using to cut them with? Maybe I need my glasses but I’m not seeing what it’s called. 😃
Big shot
The link to the dies takes you to a review of Jane Davenport paints.
Yes it does . Would love the correct link to buy the dies. Ty
The link works now, but it looks like the dies have been snatched up. Though I’m sure if you search leather earring dies others will show up.
You make things so fun! By the way, Vicki Papaianonou has been on UA-cam for 12 years. Check out her first video, it is just as good as yours.
