Happy June everyone!

I hope you’re doing well today! I’m waiting on a new fridge to be delivered to my rental, listing to 90’s lady-led rock bands, and drinking coffee. And writing this post, obviously. Ha! 😀
So, if you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know that June means Pride and that I gotta post something with some rainbows. Right? Well, I do! And this year is no different.

Since I made the Mini Mandala Earrings for a friend of mine a couple years ago, I really wanted to make a pair for myself. Alas, with all the things I make, I haven’t had the opportunity to sit down and work on the earrings. Like, they’re not time consuming but I did want to work out how to change the pattern to fit 6 colors. This year, though, I found/made time and I’m so glad I did! I’ve been wearing these earrings everywhere since I finished them. They worked up so quickly (the longest part was all those ends to weave in) that I was able to wear them to work later that day. 😀

And I’ve gotten compliments from lots of people, which is another bonus for sure. 😀

I hope you like this design update and give the new 6 colors scheme a try!

And check out some more Rainbow projects I have on my blog!

Like I do with all my earrings, I stiffened these with fabric stiffener (like this one you can buy on Amazon). Just wet them down with the stiffener (I dilute it with water some) and lay them flat to dry completely. When they’re dry, attach the findings and wear everywhere!

  1. It’s a lovely pattern, although much too big for earrings – it would make a nice Xmas decoration or something. But I wish you would include a print-friendly version of the pattern – just the condensed instructions with a small picture. As it is, it’s just too much to print.

  2. I agree with Mary however I love the pattern and can easily condense it. Thank you for sharing this pretty project

  3. My husband saw the earrings as he went past my desk. ‘Those earrings would be perfect for you!” So thank you to him and thank you very much for the pattern. Now I have to wait for the coloured thread to arrive.

    All the best to you and may your creativeness know no bounds!

    Mi cumpleaños es el 4 de junio, no habia visto este post hasta hoy y resulta que es del 4 de junio del año pasado, ya hice los aretes pero en dos colores, azul y beige.

  5. Could you make these pretty earrings with embroidery silk, do you think?? The perhaps they would bee slightly smaller.

  6. Pulling out my embroidery floss right now. I am not exactly sure what size hook to use so I will have to experiment 🙂

  7. I love these earrings! I made them right away! Thank you for sharing! I have seen many of your earring patterns that I like. I’ll be busy for a while!
