Step1: Pick Acrylic and Cut

I've cut these from several different colors of acrylic (and some wood scraps).  They all turn out really pretty and get tons of compliments.

Pick your color (or colors!) and set up in the P2 bed.  I leave the paper on while cutting and peel it off afterwards.  I used the default acrylic settings (100 power 20 speed).

Step2: Arrange Your Pairs

The parts can be combined in any number of ways to make 5 or more pairs of earrings.  

Each one has different styles of movements.

Peel off the paper from your parts and lay them out into the pairs that you want to assemble.

I used ¼" leather in black.

Cut the leather to about 40mm for this style and trim the ends to your desired shape.

If you don't have a leather punch, that's ok.  Someone ran off with my leather punch (hubby, I'm looking at you) so I used a nail instead to punch the holes.

Assemble with jump rings and earring hooks.

Step4: Twirly Earrings
Preview

This is made from the 3 thin circles.  

Each one is set to face a different direction, using the jump rings.  They move a lot as you do so and they have a fun flow.

Very eye catching and assembled with just jump rings and earring hooks.

Step5: Multi Tiered Earrings

Use multiple colors, the same color, or even other material to add some interest.

These earrings also have a lot of movement and are very eye catching.  A great accessory to the Little Black Dress or with jeans and a tank top.

Assembled with jump rings, earring hooks, and multiple colors or materials.
