Louis Vuitton, Kenzo and Chanel all showed Asian influences in their Spring/Summer 2011 collections and the oriental trend continues as a hot trend for the current season. However I don’t really see myself donning a floor-length silk Chinese gown before heading out to class! To solve this little trend dilemma I’ve decided to roll up my sleeves and try another one of my DIY projects! I’ve made myself DIY origami fan earrings...perfect for keeping things neutral yet trendy!
All you’ll need is a piece of pretty paper (I just used a page from a magazine, but you can use thick wrapping paper, newspaper or any paper that has an eye-catching pattern on both sides) and a piece of string. I bought this pretty golden string at Ruby’s Haberdashery in Brooklyn!
Then you follow the instructions for folding a Japanese origami fan shown below. Once you’ve folded your little fan, simply pierce the top part of the fan with a needle and insert the earring hook there.
