How to Crochet Beautiful Flower Round Earrings
In this post, you’ll learn how to crochet beautiful crochet earrings using simple techniques and materials. The process starts with creating a base ring, followed by adding layers of petals, leaves, and bead embellishments. Each layer is crafted using precise crochet stitches like single crochet, double crochet, and slip stitches. Starching is applied to stiffen and shape the design, ensuring the petals and leaves maintain their form.
Finally, the components are assembled with a head pin, jump rings, and earring hooks, and secured with glue. The result is a stunning handmade earring that can be customized in any color combination. So, follow through with us for the complete tutorial.

Step 1: Creating the Base Ring
- Begin by crafting a ring to form the base structure of the earring.
- Work crochet stitches into the ring and build the foundation using slip stitches.
- Complete the base round and tighten the ring to secure it.
Step 2: Designing the Flower
First Layer (Petals)
- Make petals using chains and crochet techniques, ensuring symmetry across the flower.
- Shape each petal by working crochet stitches and finishing them with slip stitches.
Second Layer
- Create another circular layer with chains to form the smaller inner petals.
- Make six petals using the same pattern and join them to craft the second layer of the flower.
- Complete the layer by tightening and securing the threads properly.
Step 3: Crocheting the Leaves
- Work crochet stitches into a ring to form the base of the leaf.
- Add structure to the leaf using various crochet techniques like triple crochet.
- Create and shape additional leaves using the same method, ensuring the finished edges are clean.
- Bind off and tighten all threads while continuing to refine leaf shapes.
Step 4: Applying Starch and Shaping
- Prepare liquid starch by mixing it with water and apply it to the back of the petals, leaves, and center flower.
- Shape the leaves and flower carefully using your fingers or the back of the crochet hook.
- Straighten and adjust the petals for a symmetrical and polished appearance.
- Allow the starch to dry, preserving the structure of the design.
Step 5: Assembling the Earrings
Adding a Bead and Head Pin
- Insert the bead onto the head pin and cut any extra wire.
- Bend the head pin into a rounded loop for secure attachment.
Joining Components
- Use jump rings to connect the head pin structure to the crochet flower.
- Attach the earring hook to the jump ring to finalize the earring base.
Step 6: Gluing the Layers and Adding Details
- Apply fabric glue on the back side of the crochet leaves and press them onto the base flower layer.
