The Basics
- Engrave and Laser Cut your earrings - I recommend maple wood with an MDF core.
- Add white chalk paint in a light streaky fashion.
- Use a dremel to smooth the top edges of the laser cut earring.
- Use a high grit sanding block to lightly smooth the surface of the earring.
- Blow any dust away.
- Seal with a clear coat spray (optional- honestly I wear earrings both with and without top coat and they have all held up beautifully.)
- Add your laser cut earring hardware and wear with pride!
