This project is really simple to make if you want a quick pair of spooky earrings. To start ensure that the cut setting is relevant for the material used.

 

We used veneered wood and engraved the earrings - 

 

Resize the earrings to suit your ear shape. To do this select  all the elements on each pair of earrings and move the corner to resize to suit yourself.

Once the cut is completely or the pain is dry turn the earrings over and add a dab of strong glue onto the back of the earring. 

 

Add the stud to the back, ensure it is straight and won't fall whilst drying.

 

Allow to dry, preferably overnight. Your earrings are then complete

 

PLEASE NOTE: Earring findings are in the post so new pictures to show this process will be added once they arrive!
