Step 1

Measure and cut about 48" [243.84 cm] of raffia. Fold in half to find the centre point.

Step 2

Thread three size connector rings onto one end of the raffia and slide them down to the fold at the centre.

Step 3

Arrange the rings so the smaller ones are inside the larger one and aligned so they are touching in one place, which will be the bottom of your earring.
TIP: You should have an equal length of raffia on each side of the rings.

Step 4

Take the raffia on the right side, weave it over the top of the right ring, under the centre ring then over ring on the left so it is on the left side. Now, take the raffia on the left side, weave it over the top of the left ring, under the centre ring and over the right ring so it is now on the right side. Pull the crisscrossed raffia tight.
TIP: The raffia that started on the left side is now in the right and vice versa.

Step 5

Repeat Step 4 until raffia is woven all the way around the rings.
TIP: Cut a small piece of wire and wrap around the rings where they are touching to help hold together as you are weaving. Clip wire when they feel secure.

Step 6

Tie the ends in a knot on the back. Trim the ends and use hot glue to secure.

Step 7

Carefully open the loop at the end of a fishhook earring, just enough to slide around the top ring, then close the loop.

Step 8

Repeat for a second earring.
