{Transform Plain Wooden Discs into Zebra Earrings}

Hello, lovely ladies!  Last week I shared one of the pieces of jewelry I made for a handmade jewelry swap.  This week, I want to share the earrings I made with you.

I started with two plain wooden discs and a zebra stamp that came from the dollar aisle at Michaels.

I inked the stamp with a black ink pad and then stamped the discs.  The stamp was not big enough to cover the entire discs, so I matched the images up the best that I could.

I then painted the natural part of the disc with turquoise craft paint.  This way I could cover up where the design didn't quite match up.  Then I painted over the stamped image with black paint.

The disc on the left hasn't been painted with the black paint, but the one on the right has.  After everything dried, I inked the edges of the discs and sprayed each disc with clear sealer to protect the paint.  I drilled a hole in each disc and attached earring hooks with jump rings.

I love the turquoise paired with the black.

If you don't like wearing prints, a pair of earrings like this is a way to get a little out of your comfort zone without going overboard.  If you're completely against the zebra print, though, you could use any stamp of your choosing to create a pair of earrings that YOU would love!
