DIY Origami Paper Fan Earrings Tutorial

[@monelleny]

These are lovely, but they are trickier than they look. Firstly, you have to count the number of folds if you want to make sure that your wire is in the center one. Also, you have to make sure that the fold on the end folds toward the back, not the front, as that would not be attractive. If you make the piece of paper 4-1/8, you can make equal folds of 3/16". Also, if you are not experienced at working with wire, the part at 6:13, which Ms. Boyd says is "a little tricky," is really not for beginners. It's easy to mess up the wire and find, at the same time, that you have moved the top loop around so much that the fan has a largish hole there now. Just some warnings ... but they are very pretty, so good luck! :)

Thanks for the great feedback. Yes, it is trickier than one would think. Thanks so much for trying and for giving great suggestions. Heather.

Love watching your videos. I dabbled in jewelry making a while ago. Had to stop crafting due to things. My problem is making the loops. When I get all my crafting supplies I will try again.

Oh wow. I didn’t know this would be a live video. Something new! I turned on “set reminder.” Let’s see if it works...!

Hi Jay: It's not actually live, but a pre-taped video that will start streaming at 2pm. I'm going to hop into the chat at the right side of the video now.

Hi! What do you do to make the paper not crumple and become resistant? It is perfect! =D

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Nath: I didn't protect these, but you can add a resin.

This could be done with fabric too. Nice.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

That a great idea. Maybe you could put fusible interfacing on the back of the fabric to make it stiffer! Do you think that would work?

[@kerriocrafts6253]

Yes, will have to try :)

Hi

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Kerri: I didn't see this until now. That live chat is to the right of the video (on my laptop). Unfortunately KZbin doesn't show the replay of the live chat from Premiere videos. Thanks so much for watching.

[@kerriocrafts6253]

I watched on my iPad. Didn’t see live chat

[@HeatherBoydWire]

@@kerriocrafts6253 I always watch on my lap top! I'm not sure how it works on mobile.
