A couple months ago I posted about the first pair of jumbo crescent earrings I created. Here is my second completed pair! I used two shades of aqua for this pair. The result is a large lightweight pair of earrings that is perfect for summer! It reminds me of blowing bubbles, or going swimming. Carefree and fun, just like summer should be!
All of my jumbo crescent earrings are one of a kind. I can always make something similar, but no two will be exactly the same! When I create them I do them both at the same time to make sure they look as alike as possible.
To create these I wrap paper around two different sized cylinder objects. Glue one inside the other to get the basic crescent shape. I then make many circles of different sizes and fit them in just right before I start gluing them in place one at a time, making sure to make both earrings the same.
After it is all put together and dried I put on several layers of sealant to make sure the earrings are sturdy and water resistant.

I love the color and shape of the earrings! And made of paper? Great idea!

did you use a certian type of paper for this?
You can use any type of paper as long as it is cut into strips. I use specialty quilling paper that is already cut into strips http://www.etsy.com/listing/95855943/paper-quilling-strips-multicolor-100 When I use these papers it assures that the papers are even and the edges are smooth. They are also acid free/archival papers so they will last and the colors will last.
