Get Your Materials Ready!
Before you begin, make sure you have your materials ready. I used orange wool, but you may use any color of your choice.
Measure and Cut Out the Shape Out of Your Cardboard.
As in the pictures, Place your coins on the cardboard and draw around them then cut out the shape.
Get a String/ Piece of the Yarn and Twist It.
To do this, get a string/piece of the yarn and use a piece of your tape to tape down one side of it and then twist. Once twisted, double your yarn and twist a little more until you achieve a twisted rope-like result.
Apply Your Glue to the Cardbord and Place Twisted Yarn
Apply the glue to the round-shaped cardboard cut-outs and place your already twisted yarn in a spiral direction.
Turn It Over and Do Exactly the Same.
Turn it over and do exactly the same again. (Apply glue and place the twisted yarn in a spiral fashion until everything is fully covered. Cut off any excess yarn and seal with glue.
Make 4 Pieces of Them.
Make 4 pieces, You will need 2 pieces for each earing.
Stich the 2 Pieces Together.
Its time to stitch your 2 pieces together with the needle and cotton.
