Celtic Circle Earrings

 
Circle of Life Earrings
 

Description: These Celtic Circle Earrings are unique and attractive. The linked circular pattern is a Celtic symbol which represents the concept that all forms of life are interconnected. The design is very popular with Celtic artisans, and is seen in many works of art. These casual earrings are made of a circular decorative knot with linked loops, so fit the symbolism well. The finished size is approximately 1 to 1.5 inches diameter.

Supplies Needed:

  • 1mm Round Leather, or 2mm Braided Macramé Cord
  • (2) Earring hooks
  • (2) Beads with large holes (Crow Rollers work well).
  • Project Board and Pins


Knots used: Celtic Circle Knot, Overhand Knot

Step 1: Cut one strand of cord at least 36 inches long, for each earring. Remember to use the Cross-Pin Technique if using leather. Secure one end to your Project Board.

Step 2: Begin the Celtic Circle knot approximately 6 inches from the end. Make the loops as small as you can. When finished, tighten the knot gradually, making sure all loops are approximately the same size. The entire knot should be about the size of a silver dollar. You don’t want the earrings to be too large.

Step 3: Feed the ends through a bead. Then add the earring hook to one of the strands. Direct that strand back through the bead. Leave a little loop so the hook can move freely. Use the other strand, and tie an Overhand Knot around the cord with the hook. Then direct the second end back through the bead.

Step 4: Tie an Overhand Knot below the bead, using both strands. Make sure the ends finish up in the back of the earring. Cut off the remaining material, and apply glue to the entire knot to secure it.

Step 5: Repeat steps 1 thru 4 for the second Celtic Circle earring.

To vary the pattern, you could make a Celtic Button Knot just below the hook.
