Finishing & Helpful Tips

- Block for Perfection: Lightly mist your flowers with water or stiffener, shape the petals flat on a towel, and let them dry completely for a crisp, professional finish.
- Attach Findings: Use your jewelry pliers to open a small jump ring, slide it through the top petal of the flower and the loop of the earring hook, then securely close the ring.
- Protect Your Work: Consider applying a fabric stiffener or clear sealer to the back of the earrings if you want them to resist moisture and maintain their shape over time.
