Chain Maille Pumpkin Earrings

Everyone needs at least one pair of pumpkin earrings. (We’re pretty sure it was either Martha Steward or Oprah who taught us this. But we could be wrong.)

Anyone can go out and buy a couple of pumpkins to hang from their lobes. But you? You want style; you want different; you want something with “panache”. Chain Maille is just about the panachiest thing there is, so here you go: Chain Maille, Pumpkin earrings.

Everyone knows real style reached its peak during the dark ages, and you are ready to wear and embrace it, except for maybe all that witch-burning stuff. But, hey, It’s Halloween.

Besides, who doesn’t want a pair of earrings that stand a pretty good chance of deflecting an arrow fired by some random medieval archer you may run across.

For all of you hardcore chain maillers, this project will be a snap. For everyone else, this is an intermediate level project that will take a little skill and patience. Stay close to the instructions, don’t try to take any shortcuts, and you should be fine.

A couple of pairs of pliers, basic skills in making wire wrapped loops, a little time and patience, and you will have a pair of earrings like no one else at the office Halloween party.
