They are very light and do not pull on the ear, and when the wind blows, they tickle the neck a little.
To make these earrings with your own hands, we will need:
- a small piece of fur with long pile, natural or artificial
- a small piece of leather, also natural or artificial
- four beads, a smaller pair and a larger pair (I usually use wooden ones)
- earplugs
- sewing needle and thread to match the fur
- universal glue
- pen
- ruler
- scissors
- blade (you can also use a sharp stationery knife).
How to make earrings with your own hands
First, take a piece of fur and turn it upside down. Draw two rectangles, about one and a half centimeters wide and two in length.
Be careful to orient these rectangles correctly. As a rule, the fur pile is directed in one direction, and their long side is located along this direction.
We carefully cut out the marked rectangles using a blade. To do this, stretch the fur a little with your fingers and run the blade along the marking line several times, trying to cut the skin, but not damage the pile itself.
Now we take a piece of leather and cut off two narrow strips from it, no more than two millimeters in width. The length of the strips can be calculated as follows: to the length of the large bead, add the length of the small bead and another one and a half centimeters, and then multiply the entire amount by two.
Cut the thread, about 40 cm, fold it in half and thread the ends into the eye of the needle, a loop should form at the end.
We hook the thread into the middle of the leather strip: thread the needle through the loop and tighten it.
And now we can easily thread our leather strip through the beads. First we string a large bead onto a needle, then a small one.
We move the beads down the thread, and then along the leather strip. You need to make sure that a very small leather loop, about 3 mm, peeks out from the small bead.
We unhook the thread, now you can install the hook. We open the ring on the earring and thread it through the leather loop, then close it. Usually the earrings are very soft, and to open and close the ring, you just need to press on it with the end of the scissors. But if you suddenly come across tough and stubborn ones, deal with them with pliers.
We do the same thing with the leather strip, beads and earrings again. And now we have two blanks and two pieces of fur, it’s time to connect them. Lubricate the tails that stick out from the beads with glue and apply the bead to the fur, approximately in the middle, close to the top edge.
Here, too, you need to be more careful: the top and bottom are determined relative to the direction of the pile, take a look at the photo below.
We wait until the glue dries, and then we will sew our piece of fur. Cut a thread about 40 cm long, thread it into a needle, and tie a knot at the end. We pierce the lower corner of the fur close to the edge, the knot remains inside.
We pierce the opposite corner, the thread goes from the inside to the outside, like in lacing.
Tighten the thread and continue to “lace” with small stitches. The main thing is to catch the fur at the very edge so that the thread is not visible later.
When we reach the top edge, we make a knot and hide the thread in the bead, then it can be cut.
We repeat the same operations with the second earring. Now they look almost ready, just the finishing touch remains. Cut a strip of leather about half a centimeter wide.
Lubricate the strip with glue and make two turns around the fur, right under the bead. We cut it off and carefully glue the very tip.
That's it, our fluffies are ready. Protect them from water and dust; if they suddenly become wrinkled, comb them with a fine brush. And most importantly - wear it with pleasure!

Materials and tools
To make leather and fur earrings decorated with beads, prepare the following materials and tools:
- fur, you can choose any one with not very long pile. Mink would be ideal, but nutria would also look great;
- brown skin;
- beads, bugles and beads;
- 4 jewelry pins with a round eye;
- paper;
- ballpoint pen;
- scissors;
- stationery knife;
- awl;
- threads in skin color;
- bead needle;
- round nose pliers;
- pliers;
- metal scissors;
- fine sandpaper;
- transparent universal glue “Dragon”.
This master class is ideal for beginners, as earrings can be made from waste material - leftover leather, old leather and fur items. If there is no fur, look at this tutorial on making. Lots of skin? Then be sure to make it yourself from this material.
Step-by-step assembly of earrings with your own hands
Prepare blanks for decorating earrings. Draw a template on a piece of thick paper. This master class uses teardrop shape. For a long face, you can choose a round one. Divide the figure in half - there should be skin in the upper part, and glue a piece of fur to the lower part.
Using a pen, draw the contours of the pattern onto the inside of the fur along the length of the pile.
Using a utility knife, cut out two pieces. Cut the fur by weight or on a soft surface to avoid damaging or cutting off the lint.
On the wrong side of the leather, using the template, draw two pairs of halves and whole drops.
Use scissors to cut out leather pieces.
Using an awl on the halves, mark the place where the decor is attached to the base of the earrings.
Come up with a pattern and embroider the halves of the leather blanks with beads, glass beads and beads. Turquoise and amber beads look good on brown skin. As an accent, you can add a geometric pattern of golden bugles and small pearl beads. The center of the composition can be a large turquoise bead.
IMPORTANT! To make the job easier and to avoid breaking a very thin beading needle, use an awl to make holes.
Connect the earring pieces. Apply clear all-purpose glue to the underside of the teardrop-shaped leather and fur parts. Connect both pieces.
Similarly, attach the beaded leather halves of the earrings to transparent glue. Leave to dry.
If you don't have ready-made earrings, make them yourself. Use round nose pliers to give the two pins with a round eye the desired shape. Use tin snips to cut off the excess length. Sand the cut end thoroughly with fine sandpaper. However, it is better to buy this little thing.
From the remaining two studs, make two pairs of rings of larger and smaller diameters. Simply cut small rings from the pins, and twist large ones with pliers.
In the pendant of earrings made of fur and leather, make holes with an awl at the designated points and attach the decor to the bases. Hide the junction of the large rings in the leather by turning the rings accordingly.
The earrings are ready! Do you want more? Do or.
Treat the earrings where they come into contact with your ears with a disinfectant, such as alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, and feel free to try them on.
A master class for beginners on making earrings with their own hands was prepared specifically for the online magazine “Women’s Hobbies”. See other assembly instructions for different materials.

These earrings will definitely be the hit of the season, because the combination of ethnic beads and fur is always in trend. These DIY earrings will go well with a fur vest, a little black dress, or a fur coat. Now even the summer wardrobe is diluted with fur accessories. So, in order not to be left without a fashionable accessory, it is worth spending 30 minutes of time and making earrings from fur and beads.
Making earrings from fur with your own hands: master class
Making earrings will require the following materials:
- a thin strip of mink fur;
— two ethno-beads in the form of rings;
— two beads of bright color with a ribbed surface;
- two pieces of wire 1.5 cm each for fixing the fur circle;
- two earrings;
- platypuses or round-nose pliers;
- a thread;
- the needle is thin.
Hand-made earrings with fur are made in this way:
1. Fold the mink strip to form a circle. We begin to carefully make stitches to form this circle. A thread with a thin needle is ideal for this.
2. We cut off the strip where it seems to us that the extra piece of fur begins.
3. We hide the tip of this fur in the circle of the base of our earring.
4. When we get a neat circle, we apply a bead in the shape of a donut, and place a bead with ribs in the center of it. Now we sew these two beads to the fur base.
5. Bend the end of a piece of wire and thread it through the fur circle so that our circle hangs evenly.
6. Bend the second end of this wire.
7. We connect the rounded end of the wire and the earring ring.
8. Repeat all procedures with the second earring.
9. Earrings with beads and fur are ready!
Fur jewelry: the best ideas for fur jewelry Beautiful natural fur with soft and delicate pile has always been a symbol of wealth and well-being - it is no coincidence that a stylish fur coat remains the ultimate dream of many women. Original and stylish fur jewelry can be placed on a par with trendy accessories - even if not with expensive “jewelry,” but at least with high-quality jewelry. The demand for them is seasonal - it is clear that they are best combined with warm clothes for the autumn-winter season. Fur jewelry is closely connected not only with modern fashion trends, but also with Russian folk culture, which dates back thousands of years. In the old days, women living in some regions of Central Russia wore so-called “guns” - long earrings or pendants attached to headdresses, with round fur pom-poms at the ends. The tails of fur-bearing animals could also serve as accessories - they were used to decorate bags, hats, necklaces, and so on. Types of fur decorations In the 21st century, it would hardly occur to anyone to seriously decorate themselves with a rabbit’s foot or a squirrel’s tail. Quite high aesthetic requirements are imposed on fur jewelry: they should ideally look so that associations with the animal world remain at a minimum. A type of popular fur decoration is boas - they sometimes look like decorative scarves or collars. They became a source of inspiration for designers who began to create beads, necklaces, chokers and pendants from the fur texture. Today, perhaps, you won’t surprise anyone with a brooch made from pieces of artificial or natural fur, but earrings or a bracelet made of the same material can create a sensation. Finally, such an unusual thing as fur belts has appeared in the women's wardrobe. A stylish little thing - a brooch made of fur. Even a novice needlewoman can make such a “bauble”. Even small pieces of fur lying around somewhere in your home bins will do. Brooches made from mink, arctic fox, sable, nutria, muskrat, fox, and beaver fur are beautiful and elegant. They all have piles of different lengths, and this difference can be skillfully played up: for example, create a brooch in the shape of a flower with “mismatched” petals. Flowers whose petals are arranged in 2-3 tiers look impressive. You can complement and “revive” the product with pieces of felt, leather, beautiful beads, seed beads, and small metal fittings. What and how to wear it: on hats, on the collars of fashionable coats 2013, on knitted and fur scarves, leather raincoats and jackets, high-neck sweaters, laconic sheath dresses, on bags - especially fur ones. Fur bracelets The basis of such homemade jewelry is most often a ring cut from an ordinary plastic drinking water bottle. Your rich imagination will tell you how to design it. For example, you can cut strips of fur of different colors and wrap them around a bracelet, alternating shades based on the principle of contrast. You can cover the bracelet with faux fur with an animal print - leopard, tiger or “a la zebra”: it will turn out simple, impressive and exotic. A few more ideas off the top of your head - try combining fur with denim, leather appliqués, metal chains and studs, large crystals or cabochons. What and how to wear it with: with any dark clothing that has long and tight sleeves - turtlenecks, jumpers, tight dresses. Fur earrings Fur earrings look best when they have an elongated, oblong shape. One of the most common models is “dangles” made of metal chains with fluffy balls at the ends. Sometimes large clip-on earrings are decorated with fur, sometimes they are used to cover earrings in the shape of large rings. A bold solution is neat fur pendants that can be attached to cuff earrings. What and how to wear it with: with short haircuts, strict styling or, on the contrary, with long curls flowing over the shoulders - it all depends on the type of face. Necklaces, necklaces, beads and pendants made of fur It is no longer clear which of the creative needlewomen first thought of using balls made from circles of fur in the design of beads and necklaces. Yes, it's not that important. The main thing is that fur jewelry of this type has found its fans. It turned out that soft fleecy beads go well with any other details - beads made of wood, glass, plastic, etc. The concept of some necklaces is that they are based on a fur ribbon - it is located around the neck and is equipped with metal clasps at the ends, and threads of glass or plastic beads are wrapped around it. What and how to wear it: with thick turtlenecks and tops that have a high collar that fits close to the neck. Decorative belt made of fur This thing will allow you to combine business with pleasure - it will add trendy notes to your image and protect your lower back from colds. Decorative fur belts 2013 are often wide and equipped with leather inserts - the latter are very convenient for attaching fasteners. There are models of corset belts that emphasize a thin waist, as well as options designed to be worn on the hips. What and how to wear it with: with leather raincoats and vests, sheath dresses and pencil skirts made of thick woolen fabric, with jeans, leather trousers and leggings.
