My $25 Sydney Evan Love Ring

If you follow me on Twitter, you'll know my obsession with the Sydney Evan Love Ring, which is priced at nearly a thousand dollars.

Crafty jewelry: Itty Lovies Earrings and ring, Free crochet patterns

This was the one thing that I was sorry to lose when I stopped selling my crocheted lovelies...



But now that I'm making a tutorial for my little itty lovies, I'm not so sad any more! :]

They are ridiculously simple to make... all they are: little crocheted circles hot glued to earring backs.

YEP.
that's it.



So if you are a crochet newbie and haven't checked out my circle tutorial, you may want to do that now.

Materials Needed:
Crochet thread [size 3]
Crochet needle [size G]
Scissors
Hot glue
Earring posts

You are going to follow my circle tutorial to a T...

Dab some hot glue to the back of the circle [I like to glue on the knot... looks cleaner]:



Attach posts:



And boom:



So easy, and so adorable.
I like them in every color.
