How to make rattan earrings?

Good news, summer's not over yet! And rather than bringing all those shells your kids picked up on the beach back to the office, we suggest you wear them! Trendy mother-of-pearl shells combined with rattan to create a pretty piece of costume jewelry using natural materials. As you already know, mother-of-pearl shells are super-trendy, and we're lucky to still be able to wear them this fall.
But what is rattan? Rattan is a wild plant (palm family) that grows as a vine. It combines several advantages: it's both flexible and robust, and shock-resistant. This material has made a comeback in home decoration and, to our delight, in costume jewelry too. And the best thing about this material? It's easy to combine with other materials for a bohemian chic look. DIY rattan and shell jewelry is easy to make, so all you have to do is get started! But if you're just starting out, we suggest Rattan and tortoise shell earrings with turquoise gemstone.
