Make the Leaf
Use the remaining Green piece and curve it to make a loop around the stem, then join it together at the ends to complete the Leaf.
Shape It!
Shape the earring to your preference.
I like it as more of a closed hoop, but females can wear them longer if they choose.
Adjust sizes and experiment as you see fit.
