Maternity Outfit # 2 First Trimester

Hey!
So, my pregnant + FMS self has been waaay slowed down. While I am still working on things those things are taking forever to finsih which is why my posts have slowed down as well. So maternity outfits for now. As you can see I started showing at an almost shocking rate and though I am officially in my second trimester I thought I would share an outfit from a few weeks back!

Maternity Outfit #1 First Trimester

Hey everyone!

No tutorial today. I just wanted to officially share that I'm growing a person! Since I love clothes as much as I do I thought I would contribute to the wealth of maternity fashion pics online. I'm just at the end of my first trimester now (11 weeks!) but I popped super early so i got to start showing of my belly almost as soon as we found out!

Wrap around earrings

Hey,

This is a super simple project and unfortunatley I forgot to take pictures (again) so you're going to have to image the majority of the tutorial but I'm sure you'll have no problem.

Here's the finished Wrap Around Earrings


Materials:
Hoop earrings
Yarn
Crochet hook
Hair spray

Step One
Crochet all round the outside of your hoop (actually took this picture).



Step Two
Wrap. Wrap horizontally until the yarn is as dense as you want it then wrap vertically. When you wrap vertically make sure you pull the yarn through the top of the hoop so you get that dip look (and a spot for you ear lobe to go). Then tie the yarn off and weave it in.


Step Three
Spray. The yarn's not super stable yet. I just hair-sprayed the earrings, pressed a tissue over them to get rid of the bubbles and let them dry. They're pretty firm now!

Have fun!
