Acorn earings - seen on the web

These earrings for your bridesmaids boast BFF-worthy qualities (they're hip, handmade, and look expensive) -- yet they cost just a few dollars.
The charming illustrations for the backing were created for us by Virginia-based illustrator Katy Jean May. If you like the style but want something different, you can commission her to draw something for you. Reach her at 215-356-9513.
These are sized to fit into a 2-1/8- by-3-inch jewelry box. The images are designed to have the larger white space toward the bottom of the box.

Acorn Earrings How-To1. With a pushpin, poke hole through acorn cap from underneath.
2. Slide bead and cap onto a jewelry finding called a head pin.
3. With needle-nose pliers, make a loop just above the cap, and cut away extra wire.
4. Slide a hook on.

Backing How-To1. Download the PDFs (Tree Card 1, Tree Card 2, Tree Card 3), and print onto stiff paper or card stock. Use a craft knife and metal straightedge to cut between the crop marks; do not cut all the way to the edges of the paper, but leave them intact to preserve the crop marks for subsequent cuts.
2. Use a small Japanese hole punch to make two holes along each branch for the earrings.
