There's nothing I love more than using up every last scrap of my beautiful african print fabrics. This time around I made fabric bead earrings because I like to surround myself in the colorful ankara fabric every chance I get. This is a super easy project that you can bang out in under 30 minutes. That includes drying time.
I basically just rolled up some triangles and attached earring hooks. I made a small and a medium template you can use if you'd like to save some time. The largest was the first pair I made and I did it freehand which is always an option too.
The large orange pair measures 6" finished.
The medium blue pair measures 5½" finished.
The short black and yellow pair measures 4½" finished.

Instructions
Cut two triangles using my template or freestyle it like I did with my original pair. Spray wrong side of fabric.
Starting a the bottom, roll the fabric towards the point to make a tube. Tuck in tail piece and glue in place with adhesive.
Attach the earring hooks to the end caps. Glue end caps to top of tube. Use the all purpose adhesive to seal any pieces that may be sticking up or missed in the original spray.
