These earrings are so cute! I have tried to make some similar ones before but have trouble getting my knots to line up right. Am i being too picky or is there a trick to it? I'd love to hear it!

Hi Kelsy,
DeleteGetting the knots precisely where you want them can be tricky! I use a ruler while I'm working to ensure the knots are spaced the same. Also, some people find knotting with knotting tweezers handy for accurate knotting. I tend to use my fingers, but I have recommended tweezers in my classes.
Wow! What a wonderful design of DIY earrings. I like the earring those are very pretty. I would love to try this pair.
