inspiring DIY earrings made from wood

minimalist design, chic, elegant, light and natural

If you know me, you know how much I love bead stores and earrings.... I've already told you about them in a few posts. When I was in one of my beloved bead stores again and time stood still, I found these beautiful wooden beads, which are composed of different colored pieces of wood and look very special, noble and at the same time very natural. I simply had to buy them and absolutely had to have these earrings...

What you need:

• rectangular wooden beads

• small golden beads

• small golden disks

• gold wire pin

• ear hook

If there is no bead store near you, you can find links here to buy the individual parts online. Unfortunately, I have not yet managed to find all the types of beads that I have found in bead stores in various cities online - if you have any tips, please let me know. If you buy the beads and earring accessories via the links above, I will receive a small commission of about 2%, at no extra cost to you, which can help me keep this blog alive, stay in touch with you, provide you with ideas, instructions and inspiration so that you too can easily create DIY, shabby-chic, boho or all kinds of decorations, gift wrapping and much more with your own hands.

As you can see in the photo, I used a piece of brass-colored wire about 3.5-4 cm long to string the beads. The lower end of the wire pin ends with a small thickening to hold the small golden disk in place underneath the wooden bead. With these earrings, it is not even necessary to determine the order of the beads, as it is only the wooden bead and one small gold/brass-colored bead above and below each earring that frame the wooden bead and accentuate it beautifully. After threading on the beads, I bent the end of the wire into a small eyelet using pliers and wrapped the end around the neck of the eyelet a few times to create a more attractive effect. The ear hook is attached to the eyelet and violà - done!

Like the other homemade earrings, for example in this post, our new wooden earrings with their natural color tone go with any outfit and are elegant and unusual in their simplicity. Earrings also tell something about us, about our personality, our taste and our values - at least to the most attentive observers. Earrings are also often an interesting topic of conversation when someone asks me where I found the earrings or what their history is... An earring like this is also always a beautiful, simple and inexpensive homemade gift for someone who loves nature, wood and naturally understated jewelry that is still an eye-catcher.

Do you like my wooden earrings? Did you like this post or one of the others? I look forward to hearing from you as a reader. Feel free to write to me here or on social media if you like - it's my pleasure! A hug and see you soon!
