Talking about BBQ's what's the best way to express yourself while with your friends than to put on a colorful piece of summer jewelry. This is why I've come up with this brilliant DIY design for my earings. A very simple but beautiful lightweight earrings made from wool/yarn.

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

Turn It Over and Do Exactly the Same.
