Handcrafted wooden stud earrings with cute cupcake design
Instruction
Make your own adorable cupcake stud earrings with this easy tutorial! This cute mismatched pair features one pink and one blue base with fluffy white frosting—perfect for adding a sweet touch to your style.
Score and cut the design. The size should be fine for a stud earring set, but feel free to adjust it, if you want to.
If your laser-cut pieces have rough edges, lightly sand them for a smooth painting surface. This will help the paint go on evenly.
- One cupcake liner pink, one blue:
- Paint one base light pink and the other light blue to create a cute mismatched look.
- Add thin vertical lines in a slightly darker shade to give the wrapper a realistic folded effect.
Let the paint dry before moving on.
Use white paint to create the swirly frosting on top. Apply 1-2 coats for full coverage, if needed, Once dry, you can lightly shade the bottom edges of the frosting with a tiny bit of light brown to add depth.
Cherry on top? Use a small dot of red paint to add a cherry to one or both cupcakes.
Sprinkles? Use a fine brush or toothpick to dot tiny red, pink, or blue sprinkles on the frosting.
Once the paint is fully dry, apply a clear acrylic sealer to protect your earrings. A glossy finish will make them look extra sweet, while matte keeps them subtle.
I am sealing the top and the edges only now.
Apply a small dot of E6000 glue to the back of each cupcake. Press the earring post into the glue and hold for a few seconds and let it cure for some seconds.
Add an extra coat of sealing to the back side too, to make it shine and extra secure.
Your adorable pink & blue cupcake earrings are ready to wear! These make the perfect handmade gift or a fun addition to your jewelry collection.
