Artificial Jhumka collection
Jhumka making material
The material we need are,jhumka base, silk thread, eye pins, metal beads, ear stud base, fabric glue , canvas , metal spacers, stone chain and craft spring
The advantage of using fabric glue ensures that even if we use in excess which we usually do when the excess glue becomes transparent when it becomes dry and hence it is not visible.
Metal spacers are used to increase the length
Stick mirror on canvas with fabric glue
Using a craft spring cut a coil. This is inserted in the loop formed in the jhumka and the ear ring is inserted in this for free movement of the jhumkas.
Insert the pin in the jhumka base
Bend the other end with pliers to form a loop
The mirror and stone chain stuck to canvas would have dried. Cut them with a pair of scissors
Past the ear stud to the backside of the mirror
Insert the ear ring in the loop formed in the jhumka
Navratri gifts for kanya | Silk thread jhumkas
The uses of learning this simple craft idea are many. We can use them as matching ornaments for sarees. We can offer them as gifts for kanya who visit our homes for Navratri golu. We can also offer them as gifts for Varalakshmi Vratham in thamboolam or as a decoration for Goddess's Face.
I make them when ever I find time and have them ready to offer them as gifts to guests / relatives who visit our home.
Jhumkas plus ear rings using silk thread of different colors can be made at home during our spare time. We can have them of many beautiful colours to match with our dresses - lehenga , blouse and of course sarees. .
