Crafty Earrings at the Oscars

Academy Award for Best Actress, Black Swan, knit accessory, Knitting, Knitting Pattern, Natalie Portman, tassel

As I watched Natalie Portman accept her Oscar for Best Actress, I couldn’t help but notice how beautiful her earrings were! This is an easy, last minute accessory that any knitter could make for their next special occasion or night out.

A simple pattern for tassels can be found in Last Minute Knitted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson. After you have made two tassels, simply fasten a decorative bead above it and attach an earring post.

It shouldn’t take you more than 30 minutes to complete a pair. 🙂

What was your favorite dress/accessory at the Oscars last night?
