Earrings & Keychain Instructions

Supplies Needed:


Steps to Make the Earrings:

  1. Cut two lengths of yarn 7 inches long.

  1. Take one of those 7 inch yarn pieces and feed it through the whole in one of the earring hooks.

  1. Check that both sides are even and then tie a double knot to secure it in place.

  1. Do the same to the other 7 inch yarn piece and earring hook.

  1. Cut 20 lengths of yarn 3.5 inches long.

  1. Take two of the 3.5 inch yarn pieces and fold in half.

  1. Place one of the earring hooks vertically on the table with the yarn ends toward you.

  1. Place one of the folded yarn pieces horizontally under the strip tied to the earring hook.

  1. Place the other on top horizontally with the loop on the other side.

  1. Pull the ends of each yarn piece through the loop on the other yarn piece.

  1. Pull taught and tighten the knot.

  1. Push the yarn you just knotted up, so it’s right against the earring hook.

  1. Continue doing this until you’ve tied all 20 yarn pieces together in sets of two.

  1. Secure the ends by tying a knot with the left and center left ends shown in the picture.

  1. Tie a knot with the right and center right yarn ends shown in the picture.

  1. Then tie a double knot with the two yarn strands in the middle.

  1. Cut another 20 lengths of yarn 3.5 inches long.

  1. Repeat what you did with the first earring to the second earring.

  1. Loosen the yarn unbraiding it on both earrings so they will be easier to comb through.

  1. Dunk the earring into the cup of water to get it wet, squeeze out excess water dab with towel/paper towel.

  1. Lay earring flat and comb through the yarn. If using a pet comb be careful what surface you put the earring on top of as the comb can leave scratches. Place a piece of cardboard or a notebook down underneath the earring so you don’t ruin your table.

  1. Comb the yarn and then flip the earring over and comb the other side.

  1. Comb the other earring.

  1. Optional: If the yarn is too fluffy for you and you want to smooth the yarn out, put your hair straightener on the lowest setting and smooth the yarn out. Be careful not to do this too long so you don’t accidentally melt the yarn.

  1. Choose which template you want to use and cut it out.

  1. Place the template on top of the feather earring and cut away the excess.  

  1. Do the same to the other earring and line it up with the first earring to check that they match.


Steps to Make the Keychain:

Make the Keychain the same way as the earrings. The only things you do differently are the steps below:

  1. Cut one length of yarn 14 inches long for the center structural part of the keychain instead of 7 inches.

  1. Cut 60 lengths of yarn 5 inches long.

  1. Cut out one of the bigger feather templates to use when you trim the feather.

  1. Follow the rest of the directions the exact same to complete the keychain like the earrings.
