Pretty Posy Filigree Earrings Tutorial

Created by: Mollie Valente


Designer Tips

  • Mix the adhesive according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Apply masking tape to the back side of the filigrees. This will prevent the adhesive from leaking through the openings.
  • Apply adhesive to the back side of the flat back crystal and center it on the filigree and press gently. Repeat with the second filigree and crystal.
  • Set the pieces aside in a warm area to cure. Curing overnight is usually best.
  • Once cured, remove the masking tape from the back side of each filigree piece.
  • To finish each earring, simply add a kidney-wire earring finding to the top of the filigree piece and then pinch the earring loop closed with chain-nose pliers.
